Some people prefer
Their fashion to be classic –
Rather than drastic –
Bombastic or Jurassic –
But it’s not what I prefer

Notes to this poem…
No moon on this cruise –
For a week until tonight –
When there’s a half moon –
Is that how it works far north?
It was great for this cruise, though

A jet collided
With a star in the night sky –

Notes to this poem…
Celestial arch –
Horizon to horizon –
Rainbow of the night –
That’s the Milky Way as seen
From the cruise ship Helideck

Notes to this poem…
Alone with the stars –
On the cruise ship Helideck –
For an hour each night –
Lets me dream before I sleep –
Much funner than counting sheep

Notes to this poem…
Some people cruise so
They can complain, whine and get
Angry with others –
Cause others they know won’t take
That crap from them any more

Notes to this poem…
Checked with stars to see
If ev’rything were all right –
Then bid them good night –
From dark cruise ship Helideck –
Before I got sleep each night

On Dad’s side awaits –
Most I’ve never met
