Honeymoon From Hell a Collaboration With Jan Allison


Now the wedding had drawn to a close the ceremony past
We found ourselves together and thankfully alone at last

We packed our bibs and bobs into suitcases very quickly
Rushed straight out the door though I felt a little sickly

The shining taxi was waiting to whisk us away
Airport then plane our trip was finally underway

On the plane to his charms I was not immune
This was going to be our magical honeymoon

Coughing and spluttering in the hotel I did lay
Could not get out of bed each and every day

To cruise rugged fiords our plan said next
So out of my sick bed I raised perplexed

This is not what I was thinking to expect
Romance and passion seemed to disconnect

On a small ship along the rugged coast we then did sail
Reveling in the sweet air with every breath we inhaled

At last I thought my dream has finally come true
Our honeymoon would be joyous and not blue

At the Close of the day to the hotel we wandered
Through this night our love would not be squandered

 It was wishful thinking we were soon to realize
The honeymoon room had a bed but only single size

This is not what we expected when we happily set out
Dreams of intimate passion is what we thought about

The journey continued at a sedate pace
The wonderful views put a smile on our face

Sadly food poisoning hit me I was constantly sick
Sat hours in the toilets, hubby didn't take the Mick

I can now look back at my honeymoon from hell
Twenty four years married we are doing quite well
