Last evening I spend
Time with an acupuncturist for a treatment.

She promised one treatment would be for sure…
A definite cure.

But it did not have the effect
That I did expect.

Even the follow up complimentary session
Did not prevent a regression.

And with no more result from the ginger pill
At once I became deadly ill.

It was time to enter
The ship’s medical emergency center.

After being treated… I was out for twelve hours straight
And woke up this morning very late.

The Captain had decided he was not about to lose
His ship during the Cape Horn scenic cruise

He knew we would not be safe
In an 18 ft. wave.

The ship rocked and creaked all night.
And we felt each roll ‘til the morning light.
