TYNE - BUILT    SHIP    1968

Gigantic steel  behemoth
Sitting on the ways greased
And ready to give it birth,
Ten-storey-high  street-darkener,
Rusted and immobile  -

Once launched in silent swish
And cheered by a thousand voices,
Transformed to marine elegance,
And slimmed by the vastness 
Of the endless ocean  -

She moves easily in her element,
Dolphin and whale at the same time....

Sue was putting on weight
at an alarming rate
Was it down to fate…
or too much food on her plate!

She got asked by a mate
when was her due date
But Sue’s monthly was not late,
at her friend Sue got quite irate!

Her friend’s comment made Sue instigate
a course on how to roller skate.
Her weight gain Sue did negate
and she’s slimmed down and looking great!

Running wild 
Through beds of rocks and stones 
His voice echoes... 'Neath the mountain tops 

Years gone by 
Slimmed thin; his narrow bones 
His arms, still trickling slowly downstream 

Of man-stocked 
No more reproduction 
Like a blood transfusion...the trout swims 

Just like that 
Outliving you and I 
One day, Old Man River...will be gone
