Man Overboard : Adult Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

My mind was hi jacked yesterday and in a ship I sailed away

far out into the deep blue sea .

 

I said my God what can I do .I can't escape this angry crew ,

Then an answer it came to me .

 

Somebody  said man overboard ,there was I,

the man overboard .

 

So  if you ask me why I'm free  ,

I'll tell you don't analyse me ,

Have faith .

Let go and  let it be .

 

Believe in things  you cannot see .

Ships of fools are lost  at sea .

 

You can jump ship and swim with me .

The captain said he'll sink or swim

there's no room on board for him .

That's when a lightening bolt struck

that's when the ship and crew was sucked

into a vast bottomless sea .

I am not on a ship at sea ,

I've got my life in front of me .

So don't bother me no more .

I've got my feet back on the shore .

In the end what will be will  be .

 

I  don't want scorn or your abuse ,

 if you do I will cut you loose

and I will watch you drift away

and forever there you will stay   ,

under the deep and stormy sea .
