Mr & Mrs Twee's Disastrous Cruise Trip!

 

~*~

 

Dedicated to those who are ship ahoy!

Mrs Twee dreamed of a trip on the QE2,

So the cruise got booked by husband true!

 

They arrived late and had to fly, to meet the boat,

Amused people came to watch her ire, and gloat!

 

Little did they know it would be a disaster,

And wishing it would all be over much faster!

 

They boarded the cruise ship in glad rags,

Someone to carry her many cases and bags.

 

Mr Twee wondered how, he would endure,

Another holiday with his Mrs, the bore!

 

To liven up the cruise, but to her utter distdain

Her wayward and poor relations are aboard, what a pain!

 

There is no avoiding them anywhere on board,

Her posh pretence is very soon floored!

 

Mr Twee more down-to-earth,

Thinks its funny o'h such mirth!

 

Mrs Twee wants an invite, to the captains table,

But none was forthcoming, he thought her unstable.

 

Their cabin was nice, but ever so twee,

The duvet was pretty, and so frilly!

 

Dressed up like dogs dinners, they dine,

Mrs Twee acting snooty, but he was fine!

 

She wanted to be seen, as cruise top dog,

So she took the limelight, like a hog.

 

On the deck dressed in their new shell-suits,

Mrs & Mrs Twee raise laughter, oh what hoots!

 

Shell suits donned, determined to look a duck,

They walk the deck, my they got pluck!

 

After dinner is time to dance,

Mrs Twee with fussy stance.

 

Mr Twee crushes her feet,

Stomping all over them, very neat.

 

They sit and watch the cabaret,

The clown invites her up to play.

 

Shrivelling into her shell of disdain,

She cannot show her face again.

 

Made to look a fool aboard the ship

With her poor relations giving her jip.

 

The waiter spills hot soup all over her frock,

The other passengers sit and mock.

 

Her food and drink then made her sick,

A stray fish-bone gave her throat a prick.

 

An automatic sliding door slams shut,

Rips her coat and ruins the cut!

 

Mrs Twee cringed all through the cruise,

Mr Twee endured her wrath plus bruise.

 

Mrs Twee's nightmare ended with disembarkation,

Anything to escape of the ongoing humiliation.

 

No more will Mrs Twee sail the seas,

The embarrassment bought her to her knees.

 

Mr & Mrs Twee had a disastrous cruise trip,

Future cruises they will surely skip!

 

So much for the QE2,

Will the Twee's sue?
