I'M Going To Sea In a Blueberry Boat

I’m going to sea in a blueberry boat With dainty peony sails prettily stitched And a hundred fish to help keep me afloat We ride the waves smiling as if all bewitched The dolphins come to leap and frolic all day Mermaids sing songs of oceans salty delight The licorice night settles upon the milky way The stars sparkle about my gilded moon kite In the morning falls raindrops of pink popping soda That makes my tummy hungry for a Chinese stir fry So we dock at the nearest floating paper pagoda And soon place a tall order with a bald-headed guy Then off we set sail to find a shimmering rainbow But the west wind blows us way off our true course And I have to lasso a passer-by singing cowboy crow Whose navigation skills are true and I will endorse We arrived at the harbor in time to say prayers To bed we all went, fishes, mermaids and sleepy me All wrapped in our blankets of cotton candy layers Dreaming of sugar plums dancing free on the sea written 9-17-2019 Welcome to my random world Poetry Contest

This is just wonderful! I can see a family sitting around with their children reading (and imitating) this. What an imagination you have. Thank you for commenting on my POTD for it introduced me to you.
