CRUISE

So how was the cruise, people will say It's meant to be a nice holiday Holidays with MND are not much fun So l will tell you where it begun Flight seats are allocated, 2 C&D  Wait what, Steve is not next to me  Across the aisle seems so far away  Especially when your hands don't want to play  We sit on the plane, 2 hour delay  Not the best start to our holiday  Captain says Airbus can be a bit glitchy Doesn't help my nerves, and I'm feeling twichy Disembarking in a wheelchair is never fun But finally we have our face in the Sun Pina Colada and a pint of beer The holiday is finally here Next day at sea and the water is rough This is when things start to get tough It's Gala dinner, a fancy affair  But l'm feeling conscious of people who stare  My neck is starting to hurt quite a bit It seems to get worse the longer I sit  We go to a show and I start to cry I miss performing and think why oh why After a day at sea, we wake up in port We mooch around Corsica, but mood was fraught The cobbly pavements gave my neck grief I brought a new neck brace, which was a relief Let's talk about cabins, the accessible kind The bed was too high, which we were surprised to find Steve was my hero and lifted me on  Despite the fact his own back was gone We venture ashore on the next day But the pain in my neck got in the way So back in our room, with some morphine for me But it binds me up, which is not pleasant to see Steve tries to help me the best that he can He really is an incredible man I know how much it hurts for him Watching me suffer, its just grim Not every moment was so bad We had a nice meal in Naples, for which I am glad Of course the streets are full of bumps Every one makes my neck jump Back in the cabin, I'm laying in bed And hope to relieve the pain in my head Tomorrow is a day at sea A day closer to home for me Go on a cruise, you'll love it they say  I didn't with MND in the way  If I was well, it may appeal more  But never again, that is for sure
