Poetry Friday: A Boy and a Bear in a Boat by Dave Shelton

When you are all at sea
You'll have a friend in me
We'll have a cup of tea
And keep on go-o-oing

The weather may be poor
With rain and wind and more
What fun! We just adore
It when it's sno-o-o-wing

You fear that you'll be drowned
The shark fins circle round
So what? We're homeward-bound
And we're not slo-o-o-wing

And if the current's strong
And the dark, cold night is long
Who cares? We'll sing our song
And just keep ro-o-o-wing

- from the book A Boy and a Bear in a Boat by Dave Shelton
