Bahamas 2008

On a cruise ship I did sail,

going to the Bahamas

remembering it well.

Listening to bands that played,

dance hits of their day,

That's when the word

"happy" meant "gay".

Taking photos on the deck,

eating lobster, shrimp and steak.

Raining when ship does land,

can not sunbathe on the sand.

Walking around to see the sights,

Bahama's tote bag I did buy,

Along with 2 handmade

dolls pale and white.

One with black hair,

other with yellow.

One doll evil

other doll mellow.

Names "Razel" and "Melodie"

are sewn into each

separate doll,

in a craft like

looking mall.

Photos taken of dolls with me,

even Bahamian lady very pleased.

I put them in my Bahama's tote,

More sightseeing before

getting on boat.

Walking around the town,

bargains everywhere to be found.

Now I will go back

some day again,

with a more interesting friend.
