Force Five...

Poem Artwork

Ports sealed, windows covered,

Doors locked & hatches tight,

Rain, wind & waves approach,

A hurricane does on my little boat encroach…

 

Not a “perfect storm” but it will do,

Would put into port, but none near,

Gonna have to ride her out,

Through this force five & show no fear…

 

Plenty of fuel, the Rene Lyn sips so little,

Sandwiches made for I won’t be leaving her helm,

She’s been built to weather the worst,

We must pray this storm does not us overwhelm…

Ed,

Doesn't sound like fun anticipating a storm in a small boat. But I was battoning down the hatches with you all the way! Great.

That's ma boy! With sea legs one can conquer any angry salty drop the seas want to throw at us...now, if the winds gets crazy going over the speed limit and the bucket tries to kind of roller-coaster...it's time to cry Uncle! and run for the beach!

ED - I think this is one of your BEST!

Upbeat - Positive - and maybe a sneaky Double-Entendre?

Ship - She - Rene - Current Amour? Well Done, Mon Capitan!

Hold on tight, and batten down the hatches. Or is that batten down the hatches FIRST and then hold on tight? Regardless: stay safe! An excellent sea farin' tail. Err, tale. (Knew Rufuz would have to get in there. LOL) Stay safe, 'hear, and remember: the 'Spinner didn't cause that blow.

(((HUGS))) love and sunshine, Karla. :)
