Guernsey, How Great Thou Are
Guernsey, How Great You Are
Instead of Romeo and Juliet. it was Kit;
Were such a pair who never would quit
Being present in each other's midst;
Talk about Guernsey was hard to resist.
There are also two other islands adjoining;
And ocean with water had been anointing
Surface of beaches and sides of each ship
So to Guernsey we had to plan a nice trip.
Once we stopped there did sit and stare
At the elegant beauty we saw everywhere;
Down in a valley or on top of a high hill
Wherever we went was always a thrill.
Living on Guernsey, what will it be like?
How about bright-colored bike or a hike;
Maybe great tour guide down should hale
Who will please us greatly without fail.
Saw friendly faces standing in front of her
Talking of Guernsey and what it did endure
Which to all of us was well worth knowing;
Now back to ship we had better be going.

We are going on a cruise on Royal Princess
from South Hampton, England to Guernsey,
Ireland, Scotland and Normandy and return.
This will be late in month of May. Annette
Henry Tours will be in charge of our tour
through Guernsey Island. This is really
going to be a great trip. This whole trip
kind of was perpetuated by the book,
"Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel
Society" written by Mary Ann Shaffer
and Annie Barrows. Jim Horn
