Ode to the Un-cruise to
Three Mile Harbor
The planning had started with Howie and
Laurie,
So that’s where we will start this
somewhat sad story.
Directors of Cruise for Bastille Day were
needed.
The Blundens stepped forward, once Howie
had pleaded.
The planning was easy, they’d done this
before.
Just duplicate last year – that’s not a
big chore.
The Boys and the Girls Club collecting our
money;
Relaxing on boats on a day warm and sunny.
The date’s ‘round the fifteenth, and that
never changes.
The rest is a show some rich lady
arranges.
Fireworks, raffles, good friends, reverie
But alas, after all, it was not meant to
be.
We found things do change, when it’s quite
unexpected.
First the date, then the cause, why who
would have suspected?
Get out all new emails, description
adjusted
Everything’s different, but still it’s not
busted.
What else could go wrong with this planned
get together?
Oh yes, one more thing, we do need some
good weather.
That’s the last straw – made the cruise
just not happen.
It was more than just spirits that ended
up dampened.
The winds they were howling, the rain
really pelted.
Seventy boats in the harbor, their hopes
jointly melted.
One duck flag was flying, but no one
responded
In spite of the plans that had been
corresponded.
Instead of a tale of how fireworks
exploded
This ends up a report of a cruise that
imploded.
The show was postponed ‘til the weather
was clear
But all is not lost ‘cause we’ll see you
next year!
