I'm dreaming of gleaming sequins
Sparkly and flashy, perky as robins
As rich as fake furs and ermine
Clothes for kings, chaplains and captains
You have nothing to lose by taking a cruise
Just be quiet about your diet
Eat and drink anything you choose
The menu - and dress code, are today's vital news
Cruse ships with space for smart cabins
With basins and hooks for hanging up oilskins
Swim in for drink in, then discos and dancing
Swing in for sit ins and join in loud sing-ins
Dressed for the buffet, and grand cabaret
Eat enough food to last seven days
Teens deserting jeans for muslin, jerkins, poplins
Feathers and flounces deserving of praise
Sweet demure virgins see kissing cousins
Clowns, harlequins, fancy dress - dozens
Napkins in rings, blinis and gherkins
Chickens from kitchens, pumpkins, then muffins
After dinner, shake and shimmer
It's better than gin, you always win
Like music on a violin
Dance in a disco and you'll stay thin
'Where have you been?'
'I've been out shopping'
Woollens soft as lambskins
Purses tough as pigskin
Not thrown in dustbins
Rescued by ragged urchins
Not clothes for goblins
For their spells and wild sins
Swimming, leaping, diving like dolphins
Slip out of swimsuits, borrow safety pins
Enjoying tiffin, argue about vaccines
Jasmin or lupin handwash, aromas, perfumes
Heady like mountains and fountains
Like sov(e)reigns paid gold sovereigns
More mood-lifting than aspirins
Soothing like wearing moccasins
A sparkling, flittering sequin
As helpful as a vitamin
Energises like an endorphin
A magic mental medicine
Feminine, masculine
Guarded by the faerie Queen
The gaudiest, and loveliest
Sequins I have ever seen
In blue, green, pink and magenta
Silver, gold, red and fuschia
Taste, smell, hear and see the pleasure
In sequin's electric treasure.

I typed in sequins, origin of the word, and other words for sequins, then up popped a website giving words which rhymed with sequins. So many of them that I had to write a poem, only slightly absurd.
