Analysis of Oceana Queen of seas of P&O's 175th birthday
To P&O Cruises on their 175th.
O Oceana Queen of Seas,
Epitome of endless ease;
Your majesty abreast the Waves
Our fiercely fretted Spirit laves,
By luxury unrivalled.
Your Staff, your sailors, grace our days,
For style embuing all their ways;
They filter round us bringing ease
With joys of life upon the seas,
So utterly un-travailed.
The wondrous food you serve all day
Has heads and hearts enslaved alway;
The gastronome has all his wish
As glory lies in every dish,
Perfection purely parcelled.
Narcissus served with ‘grand eclat’
As ‘photo-men’ arrange our ‘tat’,
To turn us Grecian Gods we see
Thus frozen as we’d love to be
We’re visually untramelled.
The entertainment’s grand designs
Appeals to widest class, and shines;
Yet peace may be where’re ye seek
As none obtrude nor loudly speak
Our pressing cares unravelled.
So
Oceana Queene of Seas
Elizabethan glories frees;
As Empire slips beneath your keel
England’s erstwhile ‘greats’ we feel
Our minds forever dazzled.
