THE HOLIDAY INN

On a ship around Africa 
Like a holiday inn
With our suitcases and worth
like the mainland 

Down the coast of west Africa 
To wavis bay and Capetown 
Whilst eating and drinking
The smoking deck lounges

The suns beaming down
As I lay on the deck
Thinking 🤔 are we truly free…
As we sail with the currents 

A flock of bird's flank portside 
In formation and I smile ☺️ 
A dolphin 🐬 pod makes an appearance 
To welcome us to their sea world 
Flying fish 🐟 break the boarder
From the sea underworld 
As a giant slow swimming turtle 🐢 
Tries to follow off the port quarter 

But still I'm kinda thinking 
in the back of my mind
I'm confined to entrapments and marketing.
