A Jolly Fisherman

Jolly Bill had many old tall boats,
                                       
like my many big bowls for hot oats.
                                   
He loved to sail the blue seas,
                                           
I sailed my bathtub washing my knees.
                               
Jolly Bill has a huge laugh,
                                                 
once it scared a wild giraffe.
                                             
Jolly Bill likes to fish everyday,
                                           
even if the bright blue sky is turning gray.
                           
He loves to catch fish to eat,
                                             
fresh grilled fish is a real treat.
                                         
It is now time to say good-night,
                                       
Jolly Bill give me a kiss and turn off the light.
