Kowloon Typhoon

Great day in the morning The storm hit without warning Locked in our hotel in Kowloon As outside raged a great Typhoon It’s a long haul to get to Hong Kong Just to be locked in a hotel all day long They sandbagged up and blocked the front door Thus, we could not go out and explore But with all that wind and slashing rain To be outside would be akin to insane So, being as we were on the 47th floor Our room swayed as the wind whistled and roared There we sat listening to the rain When inspiration hit, I’ll order champagne The folks from room service were so very nice And our champagne soon arrived in a bucket of ice Sipping champagne with your wife in Kowloon Now this is the makings of a second honeymoon I began singing a romantic tune In hopes it would make her heart swoon Alas, she was not of the same mood She bade me, “Shut up and order us food!”
