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.

Ann Gilmour Date: 6/26/2019 8:54:00 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?

Surprise, Gershon! :) gw Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 6/27/2019 9:36:00 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 Date: 6/27/2019 10:52:00 AM Oh, my goodness! You do not read Robinson Crusoe?
