I'd love to buy a boat and sail the seas Just loaf and let the string of life unwind Drop anchor anytime or place I please To visit every island I can find I'd sail from cape to cape, from gulf to strait Each bay and channel up and down each coast My dog would be companion and first mate Most likely, he'd be sleeping at his post But every night we'd find a still lagoon Perhaps we row ashore and build a fire On first appearance, I'd harpoon the moon And hold him hostage until we retired A life at sea, beneath large wind filled sails With peaceful friends, the dolphins, gulls and whales February 21 2017 by Daniel Turner
