Labour of Love- Caribbean Style

((( Sailor Sail your boat Sun's rising ~ on the sea Set your sails Winds blowing easterly Cast your nets to fish Pack your catch and go Your woman’s waiting home To feed the family )))

Bonsoir Susan...By now you know I like to mix it up... This is Caribbean folk... then again my version of it... This may be a little difficult for some poets to relate to...because it has that lullaby style... All the best to you my dear friend...I appreciate you a lot

Fried or grilled fish for the evening meal..Enjoyed reading this one..This is one that my mother taught me when I was young..Fishy, fishy in the brook..Daddy caught him with a hook..Momma cooked him in the pan..And I ate him like a man..Sara
