I Don'T Feel Like a Pirate

I don't feel like a pirate
As I travel along carefree.
My husband navigates
Us through the channels, as boats, ships, and
Tankers, accelerate and decelerate.
He is definitely the captain on this journey.
I don't feel like a pirate
I celebrate
All I see.
My husband navigates
As he operates
Our boat with out any castrophes.
I don't feel like a pirate
Yet, we are sailing the seas
My husband navigates
And trys to educate
With rigidity which destroys my serenity.
Now I feel like a pirate
As my husband navigates.

Navigating through traffic during rush hour can certainly destroy one's serenity. Most husbands think it's ok to exert road rage. Delightful poem, Bette.

Thank you. My husband and I went to our daughters wedding in Pennsylvania by boat. I had never been on a boat trip before so this was an interesting adventure to stay the least. Glad to be home.
