We watched a paper boat <br />on the river afloat, <br />we followed it totter <br />‘midst a mass of litter, <br />before the river bend <br />it sank and ‘twas the end, <br />you said you read of it, <br />which you can not forget, <br />in prose and lots of verses <br />in some English classes, <br />then you asked with candor <br />its use as metaphor, <br />that was a hay maker, <br />no word I can mutter, <br />but fast I recovered <br />and I have deciphered <br />what paper boat is for <br />when used as metaphor, <br />it stands for frailty <br />to fight difficulty,<br /><br />Ferdinand L Quintos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/paper-boat-6/
