In vain I have tried to repair My old tub, my leaky boat, Which brought me A while ago some thalers. The planking has already Gotten deformed And is about to lay itself out Until the bottom rots through. From now on, no more Bottom water, no more The moon's disc smiling at me From underneath My ankle-deep limbs. So, I am back to square one In my attempt to cross The stream of life, . . unwetted.

I had a boat like that once that I made. It is wonderful how our lives, as well, suffer such a fate. And I'm really sorry that your bottom is rotting out and that you are leaking just like this old boat of mine. ;-)

Good stuff, poet.

You old boat, you. Don't want to get wet. Now this is my kind of poem, laying out the basics with some fine imagery. And a poem that's true as well. I liked this especially. John
