Bringing the Boat Out
Have you ever brought
The boat out?
Coolness of the morning
Flying fish cavorting
And glad that you appeared.
Remembering swim-less past years
When landlubber missed
The whole thrill.
Troubled by the briny spot
And full of doubts and fears.
But now you venture seaside
The smell just like a tonic.
The sounds close to your Bloodline.
The throttle brings the play.
Sun-up roseate
The fish can hardly wait
And you your line dispensing
A Mariner's grand Day.
