A Shallow Excuse

I have treaded these waters before. A thin veil of reason for sure. And then when my face turns bright red. I know in the water I'm dead.

Ha, ha! Very clever, as usual, Ilene...And its seems you have the right notion about the ocean. :) gw

Oh what a shame it nature is fickle, hope they can find alternative place for their holiday and enjoy your cruise too, we may book one next year:-) Hugs Jan xx

Even then, you might be too late! The algae in the sea know the climate is changing, but the government of the USA insist the only thing that changes is memory and one's sense of smell! It seems we can only rely upon your poetry! Aloha! Rico

I really get this one Ilene. Two months ago I bought a flight to visit my sister in South Carolina. I was supposed to leave tomorrow...that's not happening now. : ) Oh well, at least I got a refund and will go again in a few months...after hurricane season. : ) This was fun and once again...perfect rhyme, meter and flow. So smooth.

The vagaries of weather are indeed often a bane to our anticipated enjoyments, Ilene....When we have planned ahead, made payment, and arranged to have specific time available, then cancellations or postponements are particularly galling. But, oceans and rivers are quite different and you have selected to cruise the one less subject to depth variation due to heat waves, so your ocean adventure is likely to be as scheduled. I enjoyed your post, as always.
