Short Ocean Liner Poems

Huge moose loose as a goose
Taking a swim in the nice cold river
Ocean liner in quick pursuit...

motorcycle roars
penetrating the quiet night
shattering the silence

aircraft on the runway
jet engines scream before lift off
to the clouds above

on the waterfront
ocean liner calling her flock
- the loud blaring horn...

Sure annoying while reclining in my recliner
Bell rings, someone wants to sell me a trip on an ocean liner
Had just fallen asleep
Dreamt of sailing the ocean deep
When he refused to leave I gave him a big shiner...

The open sea
Seems endless
In every direction for me

The last accompanying sail
Gone over the edge,
The tip of the mast
A sight I found a comfort
Is now a thing of the past

All alone on a world
With no end
Sailing alone
With a heart to mend

No ocean liner
Or luxury yacht for me
A simple boat
On this useless sea

If I make
Some distant shore
To sail once again
A desire I will have no more...

     ~ To the tune of 'Let it Snow' ~


     The weather inside's romantic
        our ocean-liner across the Atlantic

     Perhaps outside the storm is howling
        on the couch this cat is me-owing  

     Who cares if this ship's gonna sink
        It's just a flick ~ I'll pour you a drink

THE SECRET WITHIN

Eyes
-	dark, seductive
   Glancing at each face 
   with the hint of a smile 

Body
-	 sylphlike splendor
   Floating like an ocean liner
   on calm seas at twilight

She is the center of attention
   gliding effortlessly
   across the room.

Men drawn in by those hypnotic eyes.
What secret do they hold?

Beneath that lush exterior
   is a drag queen I am told.

                                Marion Sheridan...
