The Coat & Boat Theory Poem by tony haynes

An overcoat keeps our bodies under wraps & warm

Just a like a boat a mind afloat adapts in a storm
Our willingness to wear emotions on our sleeve
Unleashes faith to
Row us down a
Notion to believe
Exhilarating isn’t it? This coat & boat theory
Your soul & mine reborn in water…

Warmer and not weary
Invigorating isn’t it?
This coat & boat theory
Hidden while we’ve ridden…

…A tide that’s sometimes dreary

With devotion we are coated with ambition
On oceans showboating on a mission
Revolutionaries
Dreamy eyed & cheery
Satisfied & teary…

…If it floats our boat it coats us
That’s our theory
