Oh what fun...

The picture is NOT the actual boat, just similar...


Poem Artwork


A boat I once had,

A 13 footer, wasn’t that bad,

Called her the Leaky Tiki,

The water crept in,

But it wasn’t sneaky…

 

Fiber-glassed was her hull,

Over inch thick plywood,

In the ocean life was never dull,

Had to pump her out regularly,

My parents thought me out of my skull…

 

But I was quite young, gonna live forever,

With a big pump and three fuel tanks,

I thought myself altogether quite clever,

Afterall I was only just a hundred yards from shore,

You could honestly see the water coming up through the floor planks…

We must be brothers - my first boat was called 'Wild and Wet Wanda.' She went to her watery grave much too early, and your Leaky Tiki sounds like quite a gal, too.
