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.
