You stood there, next to me, <br />the rain came down as if to say, just go, <br />and off we went, you on my bony back, <br />we swam with fishes, crabs and a small gigolo <br />a seahorse coloured green with little eyes, all black. <br />We reached the island worn but full of sap, <br />and underwater we had opportunity to pee. <br />Only a seagull and a frigate took the rap.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/watery-escape/
