Boats And I Don'T Mix Poem by Audrey Heller

No one, can ever convenience me, to
go on a boat! The thought of it, makes
me shiver. When someone tries to coax
me, it sets me all a quiver. I keep thinking,
what if the boat would tip over. I'd panic
and wouldn't know, what to do. I've always
been afraid of water, so how, would I make
it through? I've never learned how to swim,
because of this fear, I'm ashamed to say.
I keep saying, it's about time I overcome
it, but it doesn't work that way. I'm not
afraid, to go on an ocean liner. That's
plenty big, for me. Besides, there's a
lot of enjoyment attached to it, as you
head, right out to sea. Small boats for
me, will always be, off my list. But give
me, an ocean liner. Now, that, I can't,
resist!
