an 'adult' cruise trip

needing a vacation,

we sign up

for an all inclusive trip

to the islands.

but we're a little naive,

so when we

board the 'adult' cruise ship,

we have no

idea what the word

'adult'

entails.

does that mean no children

are on board

the ship?

sounds good, but

everyone keeps putting

words into

air quotes, asking

us if we 'swing'

do we 'swap'

'soft swap or hard swap'.

how deeply do we

want to get 'involved'.

we look

at each other and 

shrug.

they all seem like hipsters

in their

flamboyant get ups,

overtly sexy

and transparent.

we're wearing

loafers

and windbreakers.

golf shorts from J.C. Pennys.

we're hungry though, so we

ask, does anyone know where

the lobster

line is,

putting the word 'lobster'

into air quotes.

we're starting to catch on.
