NitaBcruising Posted December 20, 2004 #177 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Okay, I can't take credit for this, it was an email! But, what a scream! :D > TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS ~ SENIORS STYLE > > 'Twas the night before Christmas at Rock-Away Rest, And all of us seniors were looking our best. Our glasses, how sparkly, our wrinkles, how merry: The punchbowl held prune juice plus three drops of sherry. A bedsock was taped to each walker, in hope that Santa would bring us soft candy and soap. > > > We surely were lucky to be there with friends. Secure in this residence and in our Depends. Our grandkids had sent us some Christmassy crafts, Like angels in snowsuits and penguins on rafts. > > The dental assistant had borrowed our teeth, And from them she'd crafted a holiday wreath The bed pans, so shiny, all stood in a row, Reflecting our candles' magnificent glow. Our supper so festive -- the joy wouldn't stop, Was creamy warm oatmeal with sprinkles on top. Our salad was Jell-O, so jiggly and great, Ten puree of fruitcake was spooned on each plate. > > The social director then had us play games, Like "Where Are You Living?" and "What Are Your Names?" Old Grandfather Looper was feeling his oats, Proclaiming that reindeer were nothing but goats. Our resident wand'rer was tied to her chair, In hopes that at bedtime she still would be there. > > Security lights on the new fallen snow made outdoors seem noon to the old folks below. Then out on the porch there arose quite a clatter (But we are so deaf that it just didn't matter). > > A strange little fellow flew in through the door, Then tripped on the sill and fell flat on the floor. 'Twas just our director, all togged out in red. He jiggled and chuckled and patted each head. We knew from the way that he strutted and jived, Our social-security checks had arrived. We sang -- how we sang -- in our monotone croak, Till the clock tinkled out its soft eight p.m. stroke. > > And soon we were snuggling deep in our beds, While nurses distributed nocturnal meds. > > And so ends our Christmas at Rock-Away Rest. Soon you'll be with us; we wish you the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted December 21, 2004 #180 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Just noticed topic got moved back from the Floataway Lounge. Maybe because it's very entertaining? ;) Could be an entertaining new on-board game: Passengers offer their versions of songs that would be voted on by whomever is in the lounge at the time.

ourlol Posted December 21, 2004 Author #181 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Okay, Okay...

Cruisers, there’s no need for a frown, I said, cruisers, it’s got Dolby surround I said, cruisers, ‘cause you’d better sit down There’s no need to be so snappy Cruisers, there’s a place you can go I said, cruisers, you gotta go with the flow You can stay here, and I’m sure you will find We have no rock walls to climb It’s fun to sing-along to M.U.T.S. It’s fun to sing-along to M.U.T.S. They have everything, for us all to enjoy, Princess bought itself a brand new toy... It’s fun to sing-along to M.U.T.S. It’s fun to sing-along to M.U.T.S. You can get some popcorn; have a drink or two, You probably won’t have to queue … Cruisers, there is no entrance fee! I said, cruisers, we are lost out at sea I said, cruisers, you had better not scream Cos you’ve got to know this one thing! Princess did it all by itself I said, Princess, thought it was left on the shelf So, just go there, to the M.U.T.S. Watch great movies to excess? It’s fun to sing-along to M.U.T.S.

loralei Posted December 21, 2004 #185 Share Posted December 21, 2004 to the tune of "Let it Snow" The weather outside is frightful And a cruise would be delightful But it's not quite time to go So let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! It doesn't show signs of stopping To the port we must be hopping The wind it just wants to blow. Let us Go! Let us Go! Let us Go! When we finally kiss goodnight On the ship we will be transformed. And in the sun shining oh so bright All of the days will be warm. The fire is slowly dying And my eyes I must be drying, For we've got 3 months to go... Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Host Tink Posted December 22, 2004 #189 Share Posted December 22, 2004 When I get into my store tomorrow where my printer is hooked up, I'm going to get started on setting all of these up in a Word Doc and get them published...somehow. They are too good not to have in print. I'm going to have the authors just listed as "The Members of Cruise Critic's Princess Cruise Board" and will send a copy to Princess to see if they would like to carry them on their vessels with the proceeds going to a charity. If you have a suggestion for a charity, email me at <bmvdowningtown@aol.com> and tell me what charity and why, I'll pick the most popular vote. Let's vote through the end of the year, and after January 1st I'll decide. Sound good to everyone??? If you want one for your personal collection, I'll post information after the 1st on how to get one and have the proceeds go to the charity.

I couldn't reply (*could I?) without adding another contribution - another party song - this time Locomotion by Little Eva (not the Kylie version) All new cruisers get onboard the ship now Come on baby, sail the big blue ocean …. I know you’ll get to like it, if you give it a chance now, Come on baby, sail the big blue ocean Why don’t you stand on deck and feel the breeze The sun is really hot and you won’t freeze So come on, come on, sail the big blue ocean with me… You’ve gotta pile your plates up high Come on baby, queue up, queue back, Well, you’ve nothing left to pack Woah woah All past cruisers let’s not complain now Come on baby, see the new promotion!… I know you’ll get to like it, if you give it a chance now Come on baby, see the new promotion! If you’re feeling queasy now don’t loose control A little bit of ginger will help calm your soul So, come on, come on, sail the big blue ocean with me. Oh yeah… Sail the big blue ocean Sail the big blue ocean Yay, yay, yay, yeah (* = don't answer that ;) ) At this point I think I need to disable my PC and get on finalising Christmas... at this rate... it won't be happening cos I'm spending all my time humming songs.

Rare surfnsun Posted December 22, 2004 #198 Share Posted December 22, 2004 OK, I suppose this is going from cute to controversial.

regnig Posted December 23, 2004 #199 Share Posted December 23, 2004 For those still looking for the Christmas spirit I found this on the Royal Carib board. There is sound so turn on your speakers. http://www.learn4good.com/games/action/sling_shot_santa.htm From what I've read once you get to about 320 feet you will see a reindeer. No one over there has been able to hit it yet, best score is 334. Maybe we can do better. I've come no where near yet. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
