THE INCLINING TEST

The Honeymooners
have locked themselves in

C135.

The cabin proving
a better draw

than either deck quoits
or adult shuffleboard.

We oblivious to
one and all

making our own sport
to our own great amusement.

Taking no notice what so
ever to

the ship's "Inclining Test"

to confirm its weight
and centre of gravity.

We only aware of
our own inclinations

to do
what we gotta do

being good
honeymooners

in accordance with the rules set by
The International Honeymooners Organisation

The IHO

an important part of
our compliance programme.

Our kisses and what nots
all seem to be in perfect

working order

only 3,000 miles of
wedded bliss to go

before we hit shore.

"Steady as she goes Miss Janice!"
"Steady as she goes Cap'n Donall.

We advance at
a steady rate of knots

into the rest of our
married life.
