Christmas Cruise

My wife and I are hooked on cruising.  We have loved the cruises we have taken.  The last one was in June and looking forward to planning the next.  I was online the other day just poking around looking at prices and destinations… and dreaming.  I saw one in particular that sparked my interest during the week of Christmas that went to Key West, Freeport and Nassau.  This is definitely on my ‘someday’ list, along with Panama, Hawaii, and, of course, back to Alaska.

I got to thinking what it would be like to take a cruise at Christmas time and I came up with this poem in the style of “Jingle Bells”.

Christmas Cruise

The day has fin'ly come
We are leaving for our cruise
A week of fun and sun
No time left to snooze.
Driving to the coast
To board a great big boat
Now, we don't mean to laugh and boast,
But, we won't need a coat.

Oh, Christmas cruise, Christmas cruise
A week-long get away.
Here it will be wet and cold,
But we'll be warm as May.

Crashing through the sea
The ship has left the pier.
It's only you and me
And lots of Christmas cheer.
The first stop is Key West
It's sunny and it's warm.
We want to start on a new quest
So we jump in the swarm.

Oh, Christmas cruise, Christmas cruise
A week-long get away.
Here it will be wet and cold,
But we'll be warm as May.

It's on to Bahamas
Where we will stay two days.
Here there's no life dramas
Just lots and lots of rays.
The sun is pounding down,
To the ocean we will go,
Or maybe we will go to town
To spend our hard-earned dough.

Oh, Christmas cruise, Christmas cruise
A week-long get away.
Here it will be wet and cold,
But we'll be warm as May.

Then back aboard the yacht,
It's westward we will go.
We're hatching a new plot
To see a Vaudeville show.
We have just two more days
Before this cruise will end.
We are already seeking ways
To start a brand-new trend.

Oh, Christmas cruise, Christmas cruise
We're sorry it is done.
Here it is all wet and cold,
But we had lots of fun!
