Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Yacht - a Tad too Opulent

     
A yacht would be the cherry on the daiquiri
   but a tad too opulent for me
Give this admiral a sturdy old dinghy
   let me row my way out to sea

A mansion with all the trimmings
   six carports, servants quarters separate
Then again, with my aging Edsels
   why invest now; I’m not desperate 

Ah, a round-the-world cruise
    just the tonic to soothe
Yet relaxing at home on my couch
   I peruse the planet on TV, munch and slouch

So, just let me alone and leave me be
   bathroom breaks ~ adventure enough for me

Sara Kendrick September 9, 2026 at 5:19 AM The humor is great in this one, Gershon. I enjoyed the chuckling within. I have reached the age that I still would like to go some, but I am really not able to do that. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Way to go. 👏✍️. Sara K.
