Sailing To Lands In Bottles Green

Sailing To Lands In Bottles Green    

By Paul McCann

You and me went sailing on the sea, until we threw the anchor down ,

in a harbour there, near the village square, where we took a look around .   

We went window shopping and island hopping until the sun went down.

You and me and a little donkey. that we found on edge of  town  .

Then me and you and the donkey too, we took a trip down to the zoo   

Where the monkeys laughed, with a big giraffe and the funny kangaroo .

We saw the caged up birds and shared some words ,with the talking cockatoo

who tried to say , have you come to stay, with the rest of us at  the zoo

 Then you and me , we returned to the sea in our little sailing boat

and as the wind was sent then off we went with a gargle in our throat

where the mermaids swam around a giant clam who found it hard to float ,

so we sailed away to another day in the bottle on the boat .    

Sailing through in between the Spaces of the bottled up dreams , 

we found another world where no ones been on sailing ships anchored to the ground    

So we’ll sail away to another day , to another place we’re bound

In bottled up dreams , between the seams, of stories being spun around .
