My last Mediterranean cruise was a great source of photos for my blogging
memes. This picture of a sign for Split, Croatia is perfect for Mellow Yellow
Monday!
This poem is mere fiction, in some aspects. I don't have a dog named Bo and I have plenty of aches and pains. I do spend a lot of time, however, dreaming about cruising and keep hoping my $1 lottery tickets will, some day, allow the luxury of never having to worry about how I will afford the next one! Oh, yes, the working brain is debatable.
Nonsense
Jet planes soar overhead,
Fluffy pillows top my bed,
Dancing shoes adorn my feet,
A cozy fire gives me heat.
I haven't got an ache or pain,
I even have a working brain,
I like to write a poem or two,
When I haven't very much to do.
I have a scruffy dog named Bo,
That follows me wherever I go,
I haven't met a food I hate
At every meal, I clean my plate!
Wealth eludes me, sad to say,
How I wish it weren't that way,
No first class cabins when I fly,
I'm just glad I get up in the sky.
Here I am at sixty-five,
One who loves to be at sea,
I sit for hours and often muse,
On when I might afford to cruise.
