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

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

Thank you, Gershon. Yep they are sorta hard to concoct but a lot of fun to compose. Best to you - Bob

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

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

Hi Robert, glad to see this was fictional - I don't think I'll take a cruise anytime soon though!
