Trip We Will Never Forget

Trip We Will Never Forget

I always had wondered just how wacky
Was my wife who is a luscious lovely lady
Who around world wanted to go on a cruise
And taking me along with her to amuse.

Sailed and smiled in and out of each port
An envoy of entertainers served as escort
And wherever we had gone or tried to go
Was through difficult traffic and very slow.

Meals served were meant for king and queen
Together we sure made such a terrific scene
Me in my tuxedo with bright colored bowtie
You in a dress that always caught my eye.

You certainly looked like an angel in disguise
Who from heaven had dropped out of the skies
While travelling I spoke with voice so eloquent
Full of power and authority wherever we went.

What had proved to be most interesting to me
While we traveled together had started to see
As great trip continued on and time went by
You were not ever with I but some other guy.

I had a friend who was stationed in Thailand
and ended up with agent orange when his
was 70 over 50 years later. We were in the
Air Force together and both ended up with
degrees using the GI Bill. Wow.
