The Boat

Sitting on the water fine
slowly gathering salty brine
Built to lightly go afloat
I'm just a little happy boat.

I have an anchor and a sail
a little cabin
to shield from gale.

I carry humans to and fro
on the water,
if they wish to go

With clouds above
and fish down yonder
I sometimes like to gently wander
'Round the cove and thru the wave
I am weathered, strong and brave.

I have friends who visit oft
Seagulls rest upon my loft
Barnacles do adhere
to my lower hemisphere

I have lifejackets
and nightlights too
a telescope,
for starboard view.

If you want to travel light
take a boat
it is alright!
