The Traveler\u2019s Warranty<\/strong><\/p>\n

So Many of Us
\nwere Taught that
\nLife is like a
\nUniversity –
\nHope You got into
\na Good One.<\/p>\n

Classes and
\nHomework and
\nExams and
\nGrading on a Curve.<\/p>\n

To Hear Them
\nTell It, or
\nRead Their
\nCatalogues,<\/p>\n

Some of These
\nInstitutions
\nare Quite
\nUnforgiving
\nToward Those
\nWho Fail
\nTheir Final Exam.<\/p>\n

There could Be
\nFire and Brimstone.<\/p>\n

Hell to Pay.<\/p>\n

But What If<\/p>\n

Life Is
\nMore like a
\nCruise Ship.<\/p>\n

You can even
\nChoose Your Cruise,
\nPerhaps Take
\nMore than One!<\/p>\n

If You\u2019re
\nThe Adventurous Type
\nYou Can Challenge
\nYour Self
\nto the Extreme:<\/p>\n

Sidetrips that will
\nCurl Your Hair,
\nif not Your Toes.<\/p>\n

Be Sure to
\nMix It Up a Little,
\nSome Trips to
\nTropical Treasure Islands or
\nMountaintops with
\nVoluptuous Views.<\/p>\n

Just Know This:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a Divine
\nTraveler\u2019s Warranty
\nThat You\u2019ll
\nBe Brought Home,
\nSafe and Sound.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re One of
\nThe Beloved.<\/p>\n
