Wailing Song

Wailing Song let's sing to the bonny 'Bob Barker' the Whales swoon your glory down under! through waves ten feet tall, you steadfast do sail, with gallant and noble encounters travail- the world you implore, to please come aboard, let's stop the red sun, faux research abhor- we sit firmly glued, to the horror on the telecaster, as you fence like a master, against the fleet of disaster- the day you pray for, hope bright as the Sun, no need for your show, you'll sail just for fun! so join me now friends! shake their decks like a rocker! together we can send them, to Davy Jone's locker! and look back someday, watch Whales from afar- content to once more, watch 'Dancing with the Stars' -James Marshall Goff © All Rights Reserved

This is really cute, Jimbo. Bob Barker was originally from South Dakota. His mother was a teacher as was my aunt and they were friends. Good Job, God Bless, Cile

Yes, we are living on one planet and different oceans separate similar souls. James, I'm flattered by your comments and I'm glad that you read it. Let it work with you if you like. Why not! 8) I love reading your couplets.

The rhymes are really good here. I can't understand those who claim that rhymes are boring or they limit them in some way. I think of them as rails to ride with abandon. think you do, too. Regards, Gerard
