Salmon Song

I had a summer job at sea The captain, the dog and wee me A gill net set boat And away we float The salmon all caught with much glee Most mornings on deck I would be To watch the sunrise and night flee My dog I must gloat Could sing a high note And he gave our fishes for free Written: 7-30-2019 Two Sea Themed Limericks Poetry Contest Tania Kitchin Sponsor 9th place out of 10 placements

He was a great dog and loved to ride in the front of the bow, ears flapping in the wind and howling. We lived on the boat too.

This brings a smile. Is your dog’s name Patch and does he sport a peg paw?
