I get up early to venture out,
On an island boat excursion,
Little did I know my plans would be,
Filled with mental exertion.
I venture to the beach early,
And sit upon the pier,
I look out towards the horizon,
And wait for my boat to appear.
A minute passes, then some more,
Yet there's still no boat in sight,
I triple check my ticket,
Wondering if I got the date right.
But all signs point to accuracy,
At least, it appears, on my part,
They'd scheduled me for the wrong day,
And for that reason, my trip didn't start.
As a way of apology,
They invited me on another trip,
It would be to a different destination,
On a slightly smaller ship.
As my plans had...
