On The Same Boat Poem by Randy McClave

We are not all in the same boat
Some can barely float,
Some don't have paddles or a motor
Some are barely a floater.
Though the boats might arrive in a different form
We are all still in the same storm,
And while at others some are mocking or frowning
Many are sadly drowning.
Some of us have mighty yachts
Which can reach the speed of 80 knots,
And some of us have pontoons
Which we cruise about in the afternoons.
And some of us have canoes
Which is the only way many of us can cruise,
But, no matter of the ship, or of the man
When you see a shrinking boat, help when you can.
