A Whole Lot of Cruis’n Going On

Who could cruise on in, play Jerry Lee? One deck is frozen, in disbelief. A titanic hit off the old block. Fingers grooving, what a shock. He’s not jealous of Billy Joel, he’s his own piano man. I took a seat, many took an aisle, caught off guard by the talent. Don’t know his name like Princess does, but I wish I could go back in time and kick back on those kickin’ keys.* *kicking - actively ongoing and enjoyable

Kim, I'm with you....some music can touch us deeply and stays with us. It's rather incredible to think about the tunes.

Dear Kim, What a rollicking ride through musical nostalgia. I felt I was cruising with Jerry Lee Lewis at the Keys, evoking a sense of excitement and energy reminiscent of a bygone era of rock 'n' roll. The surprise twist at the end, with the mention of Princess and a longing to revisit the past, adds a touch of wistfulness to the celebration of music and memories. Ahh, the power of music to transport us to another time and place. Keep cruising on with your creative spirit! - Blessings, Daniel

Cruises book great talent. This poem sounds like there was a great joy in a trip. I think I'll pack some bags and go somewhere too. Thanks for a cheerful poem.

WHO-O-O-O-O-O-LE lot of shakin' goin' on, I daresay. Jerry Lee Lewis certainly was a showman. Those were the days too. How 'bout The Big Bopper and Chuck Berry. Whoa! Craaaaazy! ~ Clap for the Wolfman

This is great, Kim. It almost seems like a cento poem where you take phrases from songs or movies and combine them to make a poem... in this case about ship cruises. Very well-done poem. Carol Louise [Hugs]

a delightful read, Kim! Never been on a cruise, although we've talked about doing so many times. Maybe you re-ignited our dream. Have a pleasant evening, hugs, Sara

If music be the food of love, play on, as Shakespeare said. I have never been on a cruise. Too much food for my health. Hugs.
