Two If By Sea
If sailing I would invite two;
Someone besides me and you.
A person who knows how to sail
Without whom we'd probably fail.
Yes, two if by sea:
A sailor, You and me.
If flying, I might invite three:
A pilot most definitely,
And, being so high off the land,
Someone to hold either hand.
Yes, three if by air
Because I would be scared.
But walking, I'd need only one
So I'd invite you and be done.
We could take turns as the guide
Strolling through life side by side.
Yes, one if by land
And that would be grand.
So, three if by air,
Two if by sea,
One if by land,
Just you and me.
