Let's Go Chow Down

Let's go chow down.
Was he serious?
I could barely walk now.

Then I thought of the buffets.
All nine of them.
And the shrimp.
And the lobster.

I could go in my pajamas if I wanted.
So I rolled myself out of my teeny tiny not-so-great room
And I headed for Buffet number eight

So glad I had come on this cruise with my husband
Who was used to seeing me in my pajamas.

As we passed pajama-clad people in every corridor
I began to wish I had brought my zebra zip up suit.
It has no elastic around the waist whatsoever.

Cruises are all about eating.
If you know what you are doing.
And I do.

That does sound like a fun vacation! ;D Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/16/2019 3:08:00 PM I do this at home, it is just that we have to prepare the food, but so much more cozy, and I have no idea how I would abide a cruise.

This was fiction from what my friends who have been on a cruise told me.
