World Cruise
I got a brochure in the mail
To book a world cruise, setting sail
For a journey at sea,
Just my husband and me,
Where good times would most surely prevail.
Departure is not for two years
And the price would put us in arrears
If the suite that we choose
Is the Owner’s to use,
Though I’m hoping he never appears.
The ship spends five months’ worth of days
With the ocean awaiting our gaze
And I’m sure so much food
Cooked to fit every mood
Would increase what each passenger weighs.
Since our usual trips last a week
And our bodies aren’t quite at their peak,
I think maybe we’ll pass,
Letting someone first class
Find whatever adventures they seek.
