A Jolly Fisherman

A jolly fisherman came ashore
   in his old boat with just one oar.
He must have two to row back home;
   with only one, his boat would roam.

And with no fear, he sang out loud
   a song to which he danced and bowed-
a jolly song that asked the sea
   to bring his oar back- one, two, three!

He smiled and danced a jolly way
   and twirled and whirled in grand display-
when all at once, the waves splashed high! 
   He smiled and breathed a happy sigh!

For heading towards the sandy beach 
   his oar was almost within reach
brought in by dolphins, safe and sound-
   the fisherman's lost oar was found!

The dolphins love their jolly friend-
   and on their help, he can depend!
