Bon Voyage, Joan
Bon Voyage, Joan
I wish you had a laptop
to take with you on your cruise.
So you could write and say to us
“Good Morning. How are yous?”
It was not very long ago
that we had never met.
But, quickly we have come to know
our friendship is a great asset.
Reciprocating a kindly word,
we introduced our pets.
To others that might seem absurd,
we have done so with no regrets.
Whether walking in the forest
or down those country roads
We know and love a fun brunette
although she chases toads.
(To keep her “Bear”
from eating them…
She does so with great care.
No frogs allowed; he is her gem.)
But you do not have a laptop,
to take with you on your cruise.
So go have fun, sing; dance ‘til you drop.
We shall wait to hear cruise news.
