Crimson’s Creative Challenge #31
I made a boat
It stayed afloat
I sailed it up by Cromer way
But how to moor it, wondered I
When there isn’t a jetty anyplace nigh
I hauled it up that long pebbly beach
But, blast me boy, that’s a lesson to teach
If you haven’t a back like Terminator’s actor
Like everyone else, best use a tractor

I thank you. I was going the Norfolk *burr*; it was there in my head, but apart from the *blast me boy* I’m not sure it came across elsewhere.

“I’ll be back.” Like that kind of back? ;P

Gave me a smile. But alas, I know of at least one friend’s husband who tried to move ‘that’ boat by himself, and ended up in the hospital. Great humorous poetic advice.

I thank you. All along that shore are tractors and winches, so it’s easy to guess that to physically haul ashore isn’t a good idea
Moreover, less obvious from the shot I showed, but this was quite a helfty catamaran.

I do do fun ones sometimes. In fact, I used more often do fun than serious, mostly cos they were usually composed to amuse the kids. But the kids are now grown so …

I tried to give it a *Norfolk* feel. Hence the *Blast me boy*. Although true Norfolk would be *bor*. But I could imagine some scratched heads over that.
