Our Travel Surprise

Hello, I would like to make reservations for two,

I realize it is kind of late,

Can you see what you can do,

In your hands is my fate.



Oh, by the way,

How much is that?

That much huh,

Woo, pick me up from the mat.



You don’t have any rooms?

None at all?

I have to for a second honeymoon,

Or her divorce lawyer she will call.



We are looking for a new start,

To mend our broken hearts.

I was hoping this surprise,

Would raise my stock in her eyes.



You say you have single,

But it is reserved for the crew,

Uh, we will take it…

What will we have to do?



Cabbie, take me to 317 W. Vine,

Will you wait for just a time,

I will load our luggage on your rack,

Then you can take us back.



The cruise will be a surprise,

So I will make her close her eyes,

There is an extra ten for you

If she doesn't catch on,

I will let her open them once you are gone.



Here she comes, mums the word,

I don’t want us to be over heard.

Hello my love your chariot awaits.

No I shant tell you,

There are two surprises on this date.



Drive on cabbie in all due haste,

We do not have a moment to waste.

Close your eyes dear

So you don’t spoil the 1st surprise.

We are here,

Go ahead and open your eyes.



Yes my love, it is the Love Boat,

We will spend a glorious week afloat.

Wait my love, our path,

Not through terminal lies,

That is part of the second surprise.



We will be a part of the crew,

Wear uniforms and do poetry readings,

From 10 until 2.

Wait, wait, it will be fun,

It will be just a working vacation.



Come on, you will see,

This will be fun for you and me.

The cabin is a single, but we can make do,

It will give us a chance

for our relationship to renew.



After our shifts, we are free,

To do the touristy.

Come on, you know you will have fun,

If you don’t when we get there

You can fly home.



Atta girl, you are going to give it a go,

You will have a ball, this I know.

When we get home, the stories you can tell,

Maybe write a poem about the honeymoon from hell.



Just kidding. Did I say we get paid for this?

How's about a little kiss.
