This appeared today on Fark. I think it’s the best satirical verse the internet has produced in, oh, at least the past month.

_The Legend lives on from the East Coast on down  
of the cruise line they call “Glitchy Pooey.”  
The line, it is said, makes you feel half dead  
when the toilets back up every Tuesday.  
With a gurgle and roar 4300 bums more  
than the Carnival Legend weighed empty,  
that good ship and true was great floating sewer  
when the “Squirts of November” came early._

\ ***Poop Cruise**

Cold raw sewage is in my shoes  
There’s no point in flushing and the toilets ooze  
So be my guest, the deck’s covered with poos  
Won’t you let me take you on a Poop Cruise.

/Oo-ee  
//Oo-ee baby  
Won’t you let me take you on a Poop Cruise.

Feel like dumpin’, baby won’t you join me please  
We’ll leave a crap slick all along the Florida Keys

My cabin’s like a litterbox for fifty cats  
The show tonight will feature “The Aristocrats”  
So be my gue-HEY! THAT’S NOT APPLE JUICE!  
Won’t you let me take you on a Poop Cruise.\*

All I can imagine is being stuck on the one that has propulsion issues making giant circles or floating somewhere when the power distribution goes out disabling the plumbing and norovirus hits the passengers. :eek:

I have a friend who went on a cruise when noro hit and he described how the people who got it were basically living on the toilets. Imagine no flushies and that happening!

[and yes mrAru and I both had our katydin filter water bottles along for drinking since we both tend to drink lots in warm areas.]
