Give Me Not A Sea For A Mother ..... [ Response To John Westlake's 'The Sailing Boat Pitches [019]; Stormy Seas And Boats; Quite Short; Humor (I Hope) ]

Rating: 0.5


John Westlake wrote a poem, The Sailing Boat Pitches.
In it he compares a boat to a babe, and the Sea is as a bitch is,
a rocking tempest swinging her babe violently, side to side.
The rocking is so violent that her babe broke down and cried.

The kid's mast broke off; i hate to guess what babe-part that was.
In time, thank God, the mom calmed down; no longer did she buzz....
like a chainsaw creating havoc for her sweet tormented sea-child.
I think Mom should take sedatives.........to NEVER more be wild.
