Setting Sail
In a perky white sailor hat, I waved goodbye to the shore
Smiling and cupping my hand like Little Miss Mermaid Lagoon
Waves crashed and soared around my tiny boat
Following my heart across the Atlantic
The ocean drifted me along as I ate canned sardines
And laughed at my good fortune
As I rafted over the current I dreamt
Of panning tide pools for seahorses together
The Romantic Ending
One day I arrived, singing, “Land, ho!”
The captain came to greet me, offering his hand
So I could reach the dock
And we watched crocodiles under the magic moon
The Drowning Ending
One day I arrived, singing, “Land, ho!”
The first mate lent me his cane for balance
And introduced me to the captain
Who seemed surprised I was there
