To Sail Seven Seas

The first water bed Sammy sees

he says he is going to seize.

He believes on this bed,

when he lays down his head,

in dreams he will sail seven seas!

I can relate to Sammy. Who doesn't love to rock and sway on the water of life?

Enjoyed reading this one today..My mother-in-law said the first time she saw the ocean, "Now that is a large body of water"..The reason behind that was that they always said about a lake where they lived growing, "Now that is a large body of water"..Except they actually called that small lake a mill pond..Sara

You do well in his contests Andrea, as I am sure this one will do. I have written one Limerick in my life. They are too difficult to master for me. This is another great one! GL :)
