Wharf Walk

 

Wharf walking

And admiring the yachts,

It’s yours for the asking

She smiled,

This good looking gal

Polishing the rails of her boat,

Two bits and a bottle of rum

And she yours,

Offered a cocky guy in

Sailor cap on deck of a

Mahogany beauty,

I reached into my pocket

For the coin,

I’ll have to run

For the rum,

It’s now or never

He smirked,

No rum no deal,

I flicked him the two bits

Anyway,

I’ll wait,

She smiled again,

Hurry back with the rum.
