Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

The Vomit Comet

We embarked upon a voyage
across the stormy Irish sea
The ship’s known as the ‘vomit comet’
please don’t throw up if you sit next to me!
 
I can cope with dirty diapers
and don’t baulk at the sight of blood
but when it comes to dealing with vomit
I’ll confess that I’m no bloody good!

Duke Beaufort September 30, 2018 at 8:10 PM The HMS MV Discovery was or is a glass bottom boat visiting coral reefs. The smell of puke and diesel is a bit much. The crew was prepared that day and passed our vomit bags. Not only that—the water was too rough to allow positioning over the reef. Ugh!!
