Douglas Pederson Poet Rhyme

Don'T Go For the Gusto

“ahoy there!,   have you some beer”
“I’ve been sitting on the deck here”
“the engine coughed  then hit the dust”
“no paddles on board which is a must”

Hello me mate I hear you want some beer
that seems strange not to say a little *****
putting beer in the engine would upright your toes
 you would not sail again  for there she blows.

If you need a tow I’ll throw you some lines
I have no beer but I do have some wines
these are the best from a California grape yard
It’s y rope or wine that’s mild not hard

“I’d rather have the wines to sail in the breeze
“I have sails to rise and wine would be good with my cheese”
You’d not go far with the winds slowing down
my last offer is to bring you to shore.

“I’ve been a captain on these sailing rigs
“I need beer for  the engine and some for my swigs”
you guzzle some beer there won’t be a cheer
you’ll be  lost at sea, your calls no one will hear 

here take these bottles, you can  wine and dine
I’ll toss in some nuts, you’ll be just fine
but don’t put beer in the engine and never Smirnoff
else you won’t be cracking nuts when  you blast off
