Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

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.

Gershon Wolf June 26, 2019 at 8:54 PM 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 Gershon Wolf June 27, 2019 at 9:36 PM 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 Caren Krutsinger June 27, 2019 at 10:52 AM Oh, my goodness! You do not read Robinson Crusoe?

Ann Gilmour June 26, 2019 at 8:54 PM 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 Caren Krutsinger June 27, 2019 at 10:51 AM I have seen them in Florida splashing around with their calves, and they are amazingly fun to watch!
