On the occasion of our sail from St. Augustine to Daytona Beach, our resident Poet Laureate Buffy has written a few haikus.
Like any good vessel
I am easy to handle
If the wind blows right.
On frigid mornings
Grampa is the hero
as propane burns bright.
Our Captain Glad,
as a superhero should,
looks great in spandex.
One more sleepless night
Strong winds blow. Looks like we need
another anchor.
And Buffy says I can add the limerick that I wrote in response to her first poem.
There was a good girl from Yar
You could sail with her fast and far
She was easy to handle
Bright as a candle
And in her bikini she was the star.
