Bubble Bath Sea Poem by Steve Howard

I was the captain,
rubber Ducky was mate,
when Mom cried, " All aboard! ",
every Saturday late.
Then away we would sail,
faithful Duckey and me,
away we would sail,
on a bubble bath sea.
We coursed all the inlets,
explored all the coves.
Sea monsters and pirates,
we defeated in droves.
We rode out the tempests,
every maelstrom and storm,
and strayed far from port,
while the water was warm.
These times are long over,
times are not as before,
and now Ducky my mate,
is tucked away in a drawer.
But if I ever have children,
if a child there might be,
we'll have a new captain,
and aboard will be three.
