In the orange glow of morn,
A welcoming ship was born.
On the blue seas of the east,
It floated with turn and twist.
The sun was rising slowly,
Its rays making life jolly;
All birds and fishes got up
And went for another sup.
None cared to hold the lever.
Fevers were in the sewer,
Both shipmates hummed breezily;
The waters swept easily.
Having no care in the world,
Fitted with bands which were curled-
Around their wrists; they shunned all
Gossip- root of every brawl!
This poesy is for you,
From my very own heart- true;
May you never step into
Limbo, oh ‘Blender of Two’
This legend is unending,
And those who are still seeking
Will find the sublime small ship
Which is honoured as ‘Friend-ship.’

That is so clever! "Friend-Ship", I like it very much.
Haha! Thank you so much!
Ya, I love how you took the term and made such use of it...clever and delightful too. I love the adorable pair pictured at the top, and enjoyed the symbolism and characterization of friendship as a sailing vessel, with all its equipage and etc.
Whatis equipage? Ya I also loved writing this piece and as i mentioned earlier, it is one of my favorites!
Equipage.....is all the equipment on the vessel, etc.....sail, etc.....it is a delightful piece and one of my favourites of yours as well.
Ok. I got it. Thanks for the new word...!
