Mysterious Night
Stars are scattered amid bluish hues
Darker clouds are peering through
Moon is lost in the stormy night
A distant skyline appears in sight.
Couples frolicking on the evening deck
Flaunting jewelry and elegant dress
Flirting and romance in the air
Posing for pictures everywhere.
Dining room's buzzing, the ship's cruising
Singing, toasting, boasting, sipping
Enjoying a lobster dinner tonight
The desert line up will soon delight.
Dancing, drinking peaked in overdrive
Calm sets in sensing positive vibes
Until the Coast Guard arrives
And search begins as someone dies.
She went overboard from the tenth deck
"Must have jumped" the husband says
No one's buying his sorry story
The captain believes to the contrary.
The ship's cameras did not capture
What took place no one knows for sure
The gossip ends on ship's arrival
Mysterious night awaits next departure.
