Star-Crossed Cruise

Cruise ship
Leaves slip

Line rails
Cocktails

Strong breeze
Rough seas

Swigs booze
Bad news

Oh me
Queasy

Boat drill
Felt ill

Grub great
Gained weight

Oh shucks
Tight tux

Played slots
Lost lots

Met Moll
Some doll!

Let's dance?
Perchance?

Git lost!
Star-crossed!

Cruise done
No fun

Gershon Wolf Date: 6/24/2020 11:23:00 PM Hey. You are really good at these, Bob! They are much harder to write than they appear to be, as I know. Kudos to you! And better luck next cruise. (I know it's fiction, but still...) Light and Joy, Gershon Login to Reply Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 6/25/2020 11:43:00 AM Thank you, Gershon. Yep they are sorta hard to concoct but a lot of fun to compose. Best to you - Bob

Lindsay Laurie Date: 6/11/2020 11:25:00 PM G'day Bob … cruise ships are bad news down here at this time. The virus infected many on one. Sounds like the one you were on had highs and lows - thanks Bob - Lindsay Login to Reply Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 6/12/2020 1:54:00 PM My wife and I took a number of cruises and they were very pleasant. This could have been one that hapless Cletus O'Toole might have taken but I couldn't work his name in due to syllable restrictions for a footle type write. Stay cool, Mate - Bob H

Michelle Faulkner Date: 6/11/2020 10:48:00 PM Hi Robert, glad to see this was fictional - I don't think I'll take a cruise anytime soon though! Login to Reply Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 6/12/2020 1:55:00 PM Thank you Michelle. I've had my fill of cruises as well. Great to hear from you. Bob H
