Adventurous Tale
A ship is a vessel,
a great big thing.
A boat is smaller,
or so it seems.
Stories can be
special or ordinary.
Tales are exciting
wild, extraordinary!
I read a great story,
an adventurous tale,
about a boat
a man, and a whale.
a great big thing.
A boat is smaller,
or so it seems.
Stories can be
special or ordinary.
Tales are exciting
wild, extraordinary!
I read a great story,
an adventurous tale,
about a boat
a man, and a whale.
