My first world cruise is coming to an end…
And it is high time for me to send…

A note of gratitude,
For the great service and food,

And feeling comfortable at sea
Because Omar introduces me to every Maître D

Cindy, since 1999
You have arranged all cruise travel of mine

It started with the blissful marriage at sea
Of Frans and me

A highlight in my Autobiography
Which I am writing in Poetry

So thankful Frans knew you both before me
And so thankful you are instrumental in enhancing my time at sea

I am considering cruising much of my time
A comfortable life that gives me time to write and rhyme

Looking forward to some day occupy
A mini suite with unlimited WIFI

And of course
Having Cindy as my resource.

Considering your busy schedule-I hope the two of you can…
Be my dinner guests someday to discuss the feasibility of my plan.
