Cruising along.

We sail along in our little boat

Us Lungies all together

We face each day the open sea

Our boat we never tether

Some days the sea is awfully rough

During the bad weather

But ask are we down hearted

The cry goes up "Never"

Some often try to rock the boat

But it never lasts for long.

We never throw them overboard

That could be construed as wrong

We'll never reach the promised land

Our lungs are shot for good

But we are all a happy lot

Let that be understood.

A lot to think about in this one Don! Good to know you haven't mislaid your gift. I've missed your poems. Hope all is well with you and Midge.

We need the boat rockers and some cockney rebels too

Without a bit of fun and banter this site would just be pooh

Correct don't throw them overboard and worry when it's too late

Cos in our haste to criticise we might have thrown away a mate. :) x

Boat rockers are not a problem

We can take those in our stride

It's the ones that pull the plug out

I'd like to see over the side.

Not guilty your honour. :-O

Well written Don. I love that little boat. Stay safe. Xxxx

A very thoughtful rhyme Don, but so true. We like to see the same names appear each day, as it means they are all safe on our little boat. :-)

What shall we do with a drunken sailor, what shall we do with a drunken sailor, what shall we do with a drunken sailor, early in the morning,

Comes to mind when i read your poem set my feet tapping ha! x
