A Strong Wind Blows

A strong wind blew On the water blue The storm had brewed They weren't buckaroos The sail broke in half It was tied with a scarf Hoping it would hold All were feeling cold Praying to get ashore It seemed such a chore This was never done Their bodies were sore With big boo-boos They wanted to reach the beach That was outreached

Hello Cheryl,thank you for your lovely comment.It is rough to be on the water when there is a storm.I have seen some ships bent at an angle,coming into shore. It is scary. have a nice day my friend.
