Don Parker Poems
Many ships that sail the sea
Very often frighten me,
Raising doubts within miy mind:
...
When eventide has settled in
And robbins are all warblin',
One man gropes for pipe and slippers,
Another seeks a plate of kippers.
...
'Where are you? ' you ask of me,
And I reply, 'I'm out to sea!
'To see the world, to see its sights,
'To see the dazzling Northern Lights
...
'Come play with me upon the sea, '
Said I to dolphins one to three,
But they replied, 'Not just now,
'We have to help an old sea cow
...
In the corner of my eye
There's a piece of apple pie,
And in the near by-and-by
I am going to have a try
...
The Best Poem Of Don Parker
Besotted
Many ships that sail the sea
Very often frighten me,
Raising doubts within miy mind:
Is this ship as it's designed
Cause for me to shun it well,
Keeping me from drowning's hell?
Much of what I've hinted at
Ends beneath my Tilley hat.
Rival thoughts soon fill my head,
Soothing me to sleep instead.
Just the thought of ocean spray
And a sun to end the day
Knots me up to find the means
Adequate to but nankeens.
Red or blue, it matters not,
That's because I am besot
At the sight of cachalot!
