There's No Place Like . . .

Okay, here are "My Favorite Things" about our cruise.

Raindrops on deck and whiskers on my towel kitten;
Bright copper kettles making chocolate cake meltin';
Brown paper packages I didn't bring back from Jamaica;
These were a few of my favorite hings-tahs.

Cream colored skin-called a tan for my skin tone;
Late nights playing cards, John calling on the room phone;
Wild fish that fly with the sun on their fins;
These are a few of my favorite thin's.

When the boat rocked,
When my stomach flipped,
When I felt jet lagged,
I simply remembered I am not doing dishes
And then I didn't feel so bad!

Fresh bread and butter at dinner was just right;
Feeling my waistband slowly get tight;
Robert 'dancing' but Neil is dignified;
These are a few things I still miss each night!

Ordering hors'de ouvres and knowing how to say that;
Again, towel animals but the seal not the cat;
Leaving my towels, wet on the floor;
No one is picking them up for me anymore!

I could go on forever, but I won't.
Well maybe just TWELVE more things!
