The Cruise

My wife's been whining for some time now Wanting me to take her on a cruise Now we've been married for twenty-five years So she wasn't gonna let me refuse So we packed up our bags and off we went Kinda like a second honeymoon I said, "Fix us some sandwiches to eat on the way" Then I told her we'd be there soon She said, "Where are we going Hawaii or Bahamas?" I said, "This place is better than that" We stopped at a place that said, "Paddle Boats Here" I said, "We're here, now don't forget your hat" Well, now needless to say, I did something wrong 'Cause my wife started throwing such a fit We went around circles for at least twenty minutes 'Cause everytime I'd paddle, she'd quit Now I wasn't gonna pay for no life perservers My bicycle tubes worked fine My wife had that tube wrapped around her neck And both of her hands around mine Well, to make a long story short, she'll never forget That time I took her on a cruise And everytime I even try to forget it I remember that horrible bruise

WOW... You're a slow learner. I wrote a poem about: The Fox and the Goose, and you're the Goose. Ha Ha (Just kidding - like, I know, you are.) Enjoyed it.

Great job, Larry. I've been gone a couple of weeks on a Carrib Cruise. Just got back a couple of days ago. Had a great time in Nassau, St Thomas, and St Maarten. Beautiful wx. Enjoyed, but glad to be home. Way too much to eat on the ship. Put on four pounds! Entertainment on-board was fantastic. Best to you and yours. Have a great Christmas. Ralph
