If I Had a Man Friday

If I had a Man Friday, I would ask him to get me a sea cow. This manatee and I would have so much fun, and how! We would swim in the cleanest waters. Never taking a bath again. We would splash and blow bubbles I would nudge him on his chin! We would play with a maritime band and precariously sashay, I guess my wishing is silly since I don’t have a Man Friday.

Ohhhhh I love the Manatees. I once saw a programme all about them and instantly fell in love with these astonishing creatures, having never seen them before. Your poem is such fun Caren, so can I have an invite too and join you precariously sashaying? With kindest thoughts Ann xx

I have seen them in Florida splashing around with their calves, and they are amazingly fun to watch!

Have a man (on) Saturday. Ha, ha. When I first viewed this, my brain automatically inserted the word 'on' between man and Friday. Surprise, Gershon! :) gw

Well, let's just say that Robinson Crusoe is the not the first thing that comes to mind when I hear or read about Men on Friday. :) gw
