A-Sailing We Go ~~ A mini-challenge Poem for you
(A-Sailing We Go)
We will go a-sailing,
a-sailing we will go
No sail we two will have,
paddle pedals work
with a stop here and there
No monkey business we,
only real birds and bees
same for ones on the fence
Around the bend they watch,
until we reach the
wall
not those stuck on the wrong
The wrong side of the fence,
not a pretty scene
bids
Mind your side of the fence,
bad is on
other side_ _ _ _ _

- KP, Mrs. Jim, and I did a 'paddle boat' tour of the lake at Regents Park back in 2013. I wrote a poem using pictures from that visit, I called it "A Troll Lives Here." http://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2013/09/toll-lives-here-two-shoes-tuesday.html

Thanks for your response Jim. I also enjoyed The Troll. Your pics are lovely. I have an album of photos of vacation in London in the 1900s and they are a treasure
Happy Sunday
Much love...
Sounds like lovely fun! And the pictures are a treat too.
As for your response to mine – definitely not NZ! I have answered you in more detail back there.
This is a fun read, Jim. Thanks for adding in the photos.
Sounds like a wonderful trip and great photos for remembrance
Love the song like quality... and sailing on bicycle is a wonderful way to move.
To me this sounds like a children's nursery rhyme -- with a sing-song rhythm in the words. I did enjoy the pictures, Jim. Nature is such a beauty, even the smallest creatures and moments. Thank you for sharing.
I always love the sight of those peddle-boats - they must be great fun! We had them in Kelowna. And once, I saw a sort of boat-car that had wheels, but when one drove it into the lake, it floated and became a boat. Very odd.
