For Anoucheka Gangabissoon's After The Party, I Woke Up On A Tropical Island Poetry Contest
Having partied all night on a yacht
and then fallen to sleep on a cot,
how strange it all was
when I woke because
on the cot on the yacht I was not!
On a tropical island was I,
looking up at a beautiful sky.
Asleep by my side
I saw the tour guide -
a charming and gorgeous young guy.
I’d blacked out when a storm sunk our boat,
but somehow with this man I did float
to this nice tiny spot,
Like the guy, it was hot
and from civilization – remote.
As it turns out, the man knew all ways
to survive, and we’d been there for days.
Well, days became years,
but I’ve got no fears.
For the man-mate I’m with never strays!
