Svir Stroi

SVIR STROI

The cruising is coming to an end,
The last 4 days in St Petersburg we will spend.

Today we did the last town Svir Stroi on foot,
Over dirt roads that were not to good.

The home visit was hosted to solicit sympathy,
But some people in America live with more misery.

Money on rent they do not have to spend,
Because the home they live in was given to them by the Government.

One can hear and see,
They are still used to getting things for free

In their mind probably not enough,
But taking care of themselves they now realize is maybe more tough.

They talk about the effects of WW2,
But do not understand others suffered too.

Rain is predicted and we know why,
One can tell by looking at the sky.

But so far on this trip the weather
Could not have been better.

Captains farewell cocktails, and dinner
Made everyone again a sinner

The passengers talent show was a blast,
That created memories to last

Another night that the sun did not set
Is an experience I will also not forget
