Pause your paws for a short journey- A nonsense poem in the absurdity of the English Language!!!

sue.evans

 

I was amazed at the crews on my cruise
In the sun with the company of my son,
Watching the waves and the ocean blues
All we could see was the sea glisten.

 

Through the pane I could see your pain
I knew it had to be a bee that had stung
Tears as you stood on the top tiers,
Sailing to countries - far flung.

 

Time to set foot on land to see the sights
Oh no! I know it will rain as we visit the sites,
Where the king reigns with his brave knights
What fun at night to see the harbour lights.

 

Sit here, on my right, whilst I write
A letter home, you can hear what I say,
And add to the tale about your plight,
When the bee stung your tail yesterday.

 

Tomorrow if it's fair we'll go to the fare,
First we will breakfast with pears
Then in pairs we will journey with care,
Into the sun in our Sudan chairs.

 

Time to get back on board to resume the cruise,
Feel the passengers stare as we climb the stair
Onto the ship with the help of the crews,
Sailing into the sunset, tasting the salty air.

              Good write Sue. I think the ENGLISH language is wonderful and not absurd, there is a beauty about it that inspires me.

                You can certainly have fun with it and it can be interpreted in so many ways. 😂

                Quite clever and whimsical. I had to borrow my neighbor so I could give you three thumbs up... Two was not enough.
