Chasing the Seas

Why I agreed, I’m not really sure Others had pressed me, gave me a brochure Ready or not, I’m off to Jamaica Look Mon, have fun, it’s a piece of cake-a Don’t worry, be happy is their favorite song Chasing the seas, I went right along Rounding the corner of upper deck B Using the handrail to steady the sea I finally settled into my sea legs Sipping on cocktails, now my stomach begs Especially for olives and caviar eggs 10/10/17

Great acrostic, not a big cruise fan myself, not a big fan of the oceans.. this is well written though..

Love this wonderful acrostic, it rhymes, has a great meter too. I had to chuckle because of the ending of this line: "Look Mon, have fun, it’s a piece of cake-a" :)
