What Darlene Thinks
Lifetime Cruise
Refurbished and all suites. Taking the old
super rich farts to ancient sites, along with a
battalion of Four Star Hotel Chefs.
High on the proverbial hog! And enough champagne
to float the damn ship!
But week in, everybody got sick. Then the crew
did too. Debilitated.
Then all died. Legionaires’ Disease suspected.
From the A/C.
Coast Guard sent a Hazmat Team to clean up,
another to guide it to a port. And to pathologists.
Twenty First Century Ghost Ship!
The wealthy ones’ adult children have already
been refunded.
As if that’d stop the lawsuits!
Chief Betts to Chief Anders, handlers, departing
the bridge when finally there:
-I’m wondering: Why can’t they clean a ship?
I mean really clean!
-Why can’t they clean anything?
-What’s this? Alexandria?
-At least our odds are better home.
-And IT’S filthy too!
-What will Darlene think when you try to
make love in your hazmat suit?
-What she always thinks.
