Joyful Juice

christening cruise, ship to shore...queasy slick ~
  tropically trotting, tempura-tapping, sure shoot’n quick ~
    digital capture of roiling hammock can’t help courting hacks ~
      HOrrendous cheesy chunks HUlking bits from back ~
         Surely shooting crackers from dry yak, yakkity yUK ~
            Torrential towing, whale-blowing brackish sucks ~
                sleazy sponge sops uncorked sluice ~
                   dawns dreadful dweeb of joyful juice ~
