On the ferry
It's peaceful here - high up
above this ship's big prow -
in a quiet 'observation lounge'.
No engine noise;
a mellow up-and-downy sway,
and seasick pills and G and Ts combine
to leave you floating on a gentle cloud,
as you scan blurred waves for hours
in search of dolphins and elusive whales.
A variation on a theme;
a way to limit pain?
above this ship's big prow -
in a quiet 'observation lounge'.
No engine noise;
a mellow up-and-downy sway,
and seasick pills and G and Ts combine
to leave you floating on a gentle cloud,
as you scan blurred waves for hours
in search of dolphins and elusive whales.
A variation on a theme;
a way to limit pain?
