The Captain & The Kid!

Vol. 1  Chap. 509



    The Captain & The Kid!




          Subtitle:  My Tryptophan Trip!



On Deck I Stood Up By the Bow,
Held Captain Standish’ Hand for Now!
The Deck Got So Crowded, Ya Know,
Since One Young Sailor Yelled, “Land Ho!”


This Was Our Third Time Spotting Land!
The Tip of This Cape’s Soil Was Sand!
Then Part Way to This Bay We Ran
Into a Hostile Injun Band!


Now This Kind Captain Scoops Me High!
Our Blue Calm Bay Matches the Sky!
He Says, “Bella With Crimson Locks,
“Behold Your Home!”   Love How He Talks!


Ev’ryone’s Crowding Up on Deck!
I’m Glad the Captain’s Got Me!   Heck,
The Adults Leap and Scream and Kiss!
Who Knew Puritans Act Like This?


Now From Far Rock, the Captain Shouts,
“Bella, Come On!”  I Look Abouts!
Not the Mayflower Rocking Me,
Audrey In My Room Waking Me!





       Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!!


Your Grampa Sure Loves Y’All!


Love~Grampa
