Message in a bottle !A Poem by TomOne for us poor much maligned, henpecked chaps, I think it deserves another airing ?
It's but a fading memory now
that fateful night I fell overboard, no longer can I even recall my reason to cross that perilous fjord! But when that sudden, freakish wave knocked me into an unforgiving sea, not one single crew member was aware of what had become of me! With desperate cries I implored that schooner to about starboard turn, though she sailed briskly onwards till no longer, could I see her wooden stern! So I closed my eyes and prayed aloud as a swirling vortex sucked me under, what would the next life hold in store my prevailing, final wonder? I'll never know quite how I survived for next I felt warm sunlight on my skin and anxiously I glanced around but my fear quickly subsided with a gleeful grin! As hapless upon a desert beach I lay slung between two maidens, fine and fair, as one removed my sodden clothes whilst the other leant my head, against her bosom bare! As previously alluded this catastrophe occurred, now so many years ago, and forever since I've been marooned here, I really ought to build a wooden boat and go! But rather, I’ll place a message in a bottle, then throw it far out into the wandering tide in hope forlorn one day it maybe found, and I'll be rescued from this dominion, over which I preside! So until that praised be, glorious day arrives I'll carry on and make the best of all this strife, there’s plenty of nourishment and coconut milk here to sustain me for the rest of my natural life! And as for those fine maidens fare who revived me upon that golden sand, they're the only natives on this island and before encountering me, never before had seen a man ! © 2014 TomFeatured Review
