Going Down the Drain
by
Derby Hampton
My journey started in the tub,
I was slick with soapy foam.
So slick I slithered down the drain,
leaving suddenly my home.
I quickly glided down a pipe,
almost like a water slide.
The pipe then ended in the sea,
I was swept out by high tide.
A pirate boat just happened by,
I was hauled aboard the ship.
So now I’m with a rowdy crew,
going on a long sea trip.
Each day I must attend a class
at the Pirate Trainee School.
Today I’m reading treasure maps –
school has never been so cool.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
-- Albert Einstein

It is a wonderful fantasy world you have created between those simple lines. every child dwells in their own world of fantasy... "Pirate Trainee School" eh... too good.

Derb, This was really cute. I've only written a few children's poems. (so I could learn from you *wink*) I read this to my four and a half year old, who thought it was so funny. He liked the going down the drain part. "that would be funnnnnnn!!" Thanks for bringing a smile to my face and a giggle from my little boy.
Peace and hugs,
Laura |
