Old Moby

It’s like I am in a life raft,
the lone survivor of a really bad sea poem.
“Ship ahoy,” exclaims a parrot in my head.
Reluctantly I start rowing toward a new salty tale.
What else can I do?
I’m out here surrounded by talking fish.
Perhaps one day
I will learn to translate a few bubbles,
make a few waves
before old Moby gets me.

Thanks for the comment Caren. Good luck with the talking fish. Pick one that likes to spout poetry! Cheers.
