boat 🛶

On waves sailing afar

Up and down on the bumpy ocean

With a merry crew

Many voyages I undertake

East west north south

I traverse the globe

Carry merchandise or the like

Powered by wind or oar

Fashioned with wood 

Equipped with sails

I know the sea

And she knows me

I am a beast not unlike the whale

Migrating far and wide

Alone or in a fleet

Many an adventure I go on

With my captain and her lot

I wear my colors on my mast

I wish to tame furious waters

For I may have a watery grave

Fashioned by human hands

Steered by human will

Alive by human conquest

I am the humble boat

I hope to stay afloat
