Cruise Brochures

Viking sends me sleek brochures For every kind of cruise. I guess they figure that they really Don’t have much to lose. There certainly must be a lot Of people who will look And then be wowed enough to find A trip they want to book. We’ve traveled with them several times Before pandemic days And for the tours that they provide, I have the highest praise. My interest in that type of trip Has waned, yet in the mail, The catalogues keep coming; All that effort’s bound to fail. Perhaps to companies that big, To go to that expense Is worth it if such nudges Push some people off the fence.
