.


For your convenience
We have built a white ship
With white masts white sails
And no anchor

For your return home
We have made a blue sea
With white clouds in
A blue sky slowly surely
Showing the way

At the dock
There is a whole orchestra
Honeyed speakers reciting poetry
And sensitive people throwing
Toward you full bouquets
Of their last summer flowers

They all have brought
Small white handkerchiefs
That will flutter like butterflies
From the Garden of Eden

And as you go
They will smile and cheer
As they wave goodbye
Happy for your departure

What a clever and funny poem, John. I hope this is supposed to be funny because I find it hilarious. Something about it just appeals to my weird sense of humor. Thank you for making me laugh.

Yo John,

That's the spirit, I like the way this poem runs.
