Oh what a time to take a cruise

 

Everyone loves a cruise!

Except those who are seasick.

And those caught on Gilligan's Island,

And those out to sea 

In the middle of a Pandemic

Not able to come back. 

Til they were sure it was over

And it was not. 

But the passengers had run out.

Of patience's

And a good number of them

Were now infected with.

This new disease

They should not have had.

Nor would one want to be?

On any ship at all

If the United States 

Should go to war.

In case of emergency,

The Coastguard is allowed.

To board all vessels

For inspections in their waters

While those in other conditions

Come under the war law.

The Navy can conscript.

Any crew into service

If necessary, during a battle

This includes fishing vessels.

And cruise ships

While many worry

About the latest airlines

Misadventures

Others don't even consider.

What will happen if for? 

Some reason there is a problem.

With the navy during a war

Such as over in another part

Of the world

Where their ships might

Become damaged.

Or non-functional
Or their own crew

Unable to function.

Then all ships in the area

Under their command 

Our theirs to command

That includes American cruises.

Such as the newest Disney dream ships

Steamboat willie

Is just an icon. 

Of an old life

Of a steamboat 

Plying its trade

Before planes were so plentiful

Most steam ships. 

No longer make the trip

Across the Atlantic 

Nor up or down

The Mississippi

Due to lack of interest

They want splash.

They want dream dining.

And lots of dancing

How they pay for this 

After they get home is a question

But all those ships 

Come under the war laws.

Those American ships 

In the same area as a battle

Are automatically under the command.

Of the US Navy

In fact, most of those Commander officers

Are already military trained.

Navy officers who get a second life

Riding around giving tourists 

A thrill to see the sea.

But a lot of Californians 

Especially don't understand.

These rules at all.

They think they can walk. 

Anywhere and get away.

With anything.

With China now targeting 

Our country with balloons

One does not know. 

If a crisis will occur

The navy might be massive.

But it can't cover the entire

Globe at one time

And Jimmy likes to make.

Life difficult with his tricks

He uses various things.

Since he was allowed

To be everywhere at the same time

He can make the electricity

Catch on fire

Or the wireless go crazy

Or almost anything at all

And military installations

Used to be his specialty.

Where he would have his way

With the men before he would

Release them back into their world.

He got away with it so long.

That most expected he was going to be caught

One day and punished.

Maybe he was caught.

And buried in someone's backyard.

A substitute showing up.

Making us all jump

At his every move

No one knows. 

What a mad man is going to do

But this guy is unbelievable.

When he is not mixing up couples

Causing divorces 

He is getting into politicians.

Faces with his feces.

Making them come together.

At awkward moments

Just so he can enjoy himself.

Causing World War three

Is one of his main aims in life

After all when they get done

Killing each other off 

Then he will be the only 

One left to be the ruler.

Of nothing at all.

He does not think. 

Very far ahead.

While America is circling the globe

And attempting too not be obvious

Of their concern of Russia

China has become a problem.

There might be a day.

When there are no ships

Available

Except those pretty cruise ones

Who are now up to date

With the latest's devices

Just don't have weapons.

Those can be added. 

While the customers 

Are confined to thier cabins

On rations with food 

Arriving on a different schedule

Just as anyone who got quarantined.

One got what one got.

No seconds much less returns

Wrong food delivery

Or none at all

And where is my coffee?

It is coming, not really.

Click, 

Crews will be under orders.

And the kitchens will have. 

To consider how much is left.

Over from those working

And those locked inside.

Really small chambers

What is next for modern America?

Instead of a moon landing

The falling of satelites

Back to earth

Most of them seem to land

In the Pacific Ocean

Look out all those boats.

Bless the middle class

Who believe in fifty-year mortgages

And credit cards with no limits

Taking in all the sites they can

From concerts they don't need to go to

To trips across water

That don't go anywhere. 

Just as most of the current

Dialogue is about them. 

Not wanting to have been. 

Told they had to stay at home.

For this virus 

Then not getting it 

Or it being nothing more. 

Then a mild cold

They want out of the house.

Those who still have houses

Never mind the ones on the other side

Who are caught in a battle?

Of wills over territory

With no place to go

Please Candace, go pack a bag...
