My Little Boat
I wish I had a little boat to take me out to sea
I could watch the fishes play – rest elbows on my knees
Stars at night would guide me while sunfish lit the day
I’d call my boat The Tinker an’ we’d splash along our way

I love the wistful playful couplets that remind me of Edward Lear’s “The Owl and the Pussy-Cat” (“The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea/ In a beautiful pea-green boat”).
it is a lovely poem that makes me smile every time I read it. Lovely and lively images, especially “rest elbows on my knees”.
Thank you.
