A Confession Rnli

A confession I was a young 15 year old and I had had a few concordes , cheap white wine . Whilst I was walking home back to the house on the hill over looking the Fowey Estuary , I saw a lifebuoy on the wall without a sign. I thought , how cool to have such a thing upon my wall . I staggered with guilt, poisioned by a drunk aesthetic shallow ignorance. I took the lifebouy and put it upon my wall . . As I lay there sobering up and pondering its importance a thought did be-fall , it suddenly dawned on me I've never run so f***** fast in my dear life , to put that buoy back where it belongs in hope to save a life Amen
