Planned A Ship Trip
Things true to form may often be tough
Is like alone you should leave well enough
Because it has become a big pain
Which once was mundane and now is insane
Are all of you really ready for this?
Or like everything else my point will miss
LinkedIn a lost cause should never be
Any why do you always point finger at me?
Maybe your foolish fault it had been
So why don't you let me back in again
Instead of having to join another group
Which I just did called Poetry Soup.
I went on a trip sitting on a ship deck
After my whole life you tried to wreck
Planned this trip from now thru December
After being tired of shivering my timber (Why Shiver Me Timber)
My wife and I went for a cruise in the Caribbean Sea,
I decided that I would talk like a pirate ‘till she got sick of me.
I told her that I was going to steal a look at her treasured chest,
Or get my hands on her booty whichever I liked the best.
And if she’d shiver me timber I told her that I would swash her buckle,
She didn’t think too much of my offer but it made me start to chuckle.
I twisted one hand into a gnarled hook and even fashioned for her a peg,
I kept it up until, “Please stop this pirate business,” she began to beg.
But it seems I had an enemy trying to thwart me on the cruise,
A buffet line or my beautiful wife, which one would I choose?
And then they fired their big guns at me from the dessert buffet table,
The carbs took the wind from my sails until my libido wasn’t able.
When you sail the sea with a fork in hand your love life will be fleein’,
Try your best not to surrender yourself to the pie plates of the Caribbean.

**SNOW FLAKES**
snowflakes on my tongue
snowball splat on my jacket
icy game of fun
----------------------------------
**wonderland of snow**
shiver me timber
once upon a green, white end
icicle cascade
----------------------------------
**A gem of snow**
silent of beauty
pearly blanket, wet sparkle
nice hibernation
----------------------------------
**Snow Angel**
winters treasure chest
body print engraved in ice
wings for an angle
----------------------------------
**JACK FROST**
cold winter weather
zero below temperature
frosty the snowman
---------------------------------
**SNOW*SNOW*SNOW**
a lifetime of Wait
it's awkward to see snowflakes
Texas miracle
