Emma, Jim and O'Fin

Emma and Jim went sailing with O’fin
Down to the shoreline did go, not swim
O’fin, he asked, are you sure?
You want to row.

Emma and Jim looked in awe
as they took hold of their oars.

“Wow’ said Emma, this rowing boat is big
Yes’ said O’fin, we could all do a jig

So into the boat all did go, Emma and Jim
sat facing dear O’Fin

Just a moment said Emma; I’ll be back in a jiffy
As quick as a flash she came back a little iffy
O’fin pushing off from the jetty

The island over there is just a mile
said O’fin with a smile

In and out, their ore’s did go
puffing and panting faces glowed

The wind picked up, lower the sail
Thank goodness, our pace like a snail

Wind took hold, boat rushing forth
nearer, closer, island to the north

Emma and Jim looking into the ocean
both nausea with that rocking motion

Turning heads both, over the side
green faced, spilling into the tide

So the shore they reached
secure the boat on the beach

Amusement park all did go, what a pleasure
enjoyment and good time, always treasure

Back to the boat at their leisure
taking a lifebelt for good measure

Evening dawned, time to leave
is’ent it fun to make believe

So back home, their daily tasks
can we do that again, Emma asks.

So short their stay, could be in a play
like this poem I’m hoping not staying
