When on a cruising holiday
'Round Carribean isles,
There was a young crew member
Who aye brought me to smiles.
From London, England, came he,
His accent, still as strong,
So when he heard MY accent,
He knew we did belong.
He then adopted me, and told
All passengers and crew
Whenever we were nearby
"That's my dad", although most knew
That age difference between us
Was impossibility
For one just few years older,
That relationship to be.
Howe'er I played along with him,
Verb'lly chastised, was he,
"Behave yourself" I'd tell him,
"Or you'll go o'er my knee.
Each time, with every greeting,
Those twelve days aboard ship,
Sure highlighted vacation
With his most friendly quip.
