My Deepest Passion

My Deepest Passion’s Cruising
I only do it once a year
And that’s because of the expense
Let me make that clear.

I’d love to cruise more often
Of that you can be sure
Like once a month for instance
If my wallet could endure.

But that’s just wishful thinking
Not practical - I know
Just a little pipe-dream
Cause I just don’t have the dough.

My next cruise is in November
And I can hardly wait
This will make my ninth straight year
Which to me is really great.

My ship is the “Qasis”
The largest of its kind
I’m getting so excited
It’s foremost on my mind.

There’s lots to do aboard the ship
And the places where we stop
Such interesting sights to see
And places there to shop.

Yes, cruising is my passion
Of that there is no doubt
Relax and just have loads of fun
That’s what cruising is all about!
