Perfect Excuse

Perfect Excuse

We finally found a perfect excuse
50th anniversary and going on a cruise
On Holland America well known
For being a place we call our own
No longer ourselves will we abuse.

Leaving this morning for two weeks
See lovely beaches and tall peaks
Best views that we ever had
And going on we are very glad
Seagulls sang songs through their beaks.

I love this made me smile. Maybe I'll consider something like this if I ever have a 50th. But I got married on a leap day so that wouldn't be possible that way if I went by actual anniversaries lol great job with this one
