My Father and Me 💕

My Father and Me 💕

Amidst my mindfulness of memories, I can smell the salty sea 

I swear I can sense my tastebuds savouring pungency

That strong saliferous, sodium chloride that is so familair to me

Oh how I love my homelands from back when I was only three

Those days in the summer sunshine when I spent my youth on the coast

My Father was a fisherman with a lighthouse as his lamppost

He was a mighty good seafarer he would be so bold to boast

I am convinced my Dad is now an oceanic ghost

You see this man was a wise old sea  dog, this bloke could navigate 
his ship safely in smuthering smog

As he spent all of his life in the beautiful briney bog

Bringing home his catches was a successful long hard slog

But my Dad was born and bred on the shores by the quay

When he married my dearest Mother and they made me

We all lived amongst the familiar fisher folk so happily

In our close-knit harmonious community…
