The Highland Princess

In the Pacific sun On their gleaming white yacht A journey ahead This two sailors sought On their Highland Princess Their eight berthed babe Fishing trips Moonlight serenades Moments captured With rod and line Moments absorbed With a kiss and fine wine Starry skies Heaven above The roll of the waves Captain and his dove Moonlight fishing Many a catch This dove and her captain In human attach On the mirrored waters Calm and serene The aura of two Bright moonbeams A toast of the two Before they retire In the Pacific heat Little want for attire Below they head Discussing their night The captain and dove Pillow talk, might? They awake in the morning To the deck they ascend In the Pacific sun No more they pretend

Thjis might translate very well, with a little scrubbing into a superior novelty or folk song lyric. I mean that. It has the gift of a picture boook. Thank you for your kind comment on my contest entry. I appreciate it, sir. Regards, GK

Ahhh, this makes me long for a round-the-world cruise with the "captain," James. So when is it going to happen? It's a nice way to end your night -- pleasant dreams will surely come your way after this great write! Love you! Carolyn
