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.

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.
