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 )))

Have a fantastic evening... Hugs! Login to Reply Arturo Michael Date: 11/5/2017 7:41:00 PM 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

Sara Kendrick Date: 11/5/2017 3:42:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Arturo Michael Date: 11/5/2017 4:17:00 PM Ha ha ha...You have the idea...this is similar...Lovely to see you...All the best Sara
