The S.S. Imagination

boat

In the morning we’ll have biscuits

with a walking hibiscus

In the company of moles seeking treasure.

By afternoon we will reach the fair fairy home

Where the most graceful of creatures roam

And stop to share lunch, with a family of gnomes,

of burrcherries smothered in double chocolate sea foam.

And when it comes time to lay down our heads

In that little boat we will make up soft beds

of phoenix tail feather and bright silken threads.

We will drift off to sleep while the willow trees sing

dreaming of what tomorrow will bring.
