The cruise ship leaves the dock with all on board, <br />What a hoard! <br />The young, the old, adventure in their eyes, <br />Shout out, goodbyes. <br />Sailing away from land, to foreign climes, <br />Exciting times. <br />To rest, to play. How nice to get away, <br />on a holiday. <br />Relax a spell, and become someone who's free. <br />Great philosophy. <br />Soft sultry breeze, sun, sea and shore. <br />A wish for more. <br />So cruise along, and feel the days float by, <br />Let the heart fly!<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/great-philosophy/
