MY SHIP CALLED RELATION

MY SHIP CALLED RELATION

A Poem by DONALD EISSLER
"

JUST A TWISTED LOOK AT REALTIONSHIPS FROM A TARNISHED POINT OF VIEW

"
There is a ship that we all know
It flies the flag of every nation
Never sails or leaves it's port
For that ship is named“relation”
 
 
We christen it with champagne
Maybe toast it with some wine
Laughs smiles and words of love
Seem to occupy ones time
 
 
Now the ship is in the water
Let's see if it will float
Has a few minor leaks
That's something one should note
 
 
Relation 's maiden voyage
Time is drawing near
Patched up those minor leaks
There's nothing now fear
 
 
Sea is blue and calm
The visibility is clear
But the barometer is falling
A storm is drawing near
 
 
The sea starts to churn
Waves crash across it's bow
I want to save “Relation.”
But I really don't how
 
 
Water stalls the engine
Now were dead at sea
Have to cast the life rafts
To save my sanity
 
 
I watch as our "Relation"
Slowly slips below a wave
Tears fall from my eyes
As it sinks to its water grave
 
 
This ship has taught me something
To carry a lifeboat when I go
For if “Relation” starts A sinkin
You better damn know how to row.!
