The Cruise

My wife's been whining for some time now
Wanting me to take her on a cruise
Now we've been married for twenty-five years
So she wasn't gonna let me refuse

So we packed up our bags and off we went
Kinda like a second honeymoon
I said, "Fix us some sandwiches to eat on the way"
Then I told her we'd be there soon

She said, "Where are we going Hawaii or Bahamas?"
I said, "This place is better than that"
We stopped at a place that said, "Paddle Boats Here"
I said, "We're here, now don't forget your hat"

Well, now needless to say, I did something wrong
'Cause my wife started throwing such a fit
We went around circles for at least twenty minutes
'Cause everytime I'd paddle, she'd quit

Now I wasn't gonna pay for no life perservers
My bicycle tubes worked fine
My wife had that tube wrapped around her neck
And both of her hands around mine

Well, to make a long story short, she'll never forget
That time I took her on a cruise
And everytime I even try to forget it
I remember that horrible bruise

WOW... You're a slow learner. I wrote a poem about: The Fox and the Goose, and you're the Goose. Ha Ha (Just kidding - like, I know, you are.) Enjoyed it.

Great job, Larry. I've been gone a couple of weeks on a Carrib Cruise. Just got back a couple of days ago. Had a great time in Nassau, St Thomas, and St Maarten. Beautiful wx. Enjoyed, but glad to be home. Way too much to eat on the ship. Put on four pounds! Entertainment on-board was fantastic. Best to you and yours. Have a great Christmas. Ralph
