The Scillonian
By James
A long wait in the queue
I can’t wait to see the view,
In the cold at silly o’clock
I can see the Scillonian dock.
The queue is moving fast, tickets to check
I can’t wait to be in the lower deck,
I am rushing to my seat
There is a tall man I have to beat.
Pushing through everyone
I can see it, I’m almost done,
Molly and I saving seats for us all
I am having an absolute ball.
The sun is shining on the sea
Travelling fast the white horses gallop around me
The deep blue ocean, the paler blue sky
The call of the seagulls screeching so high.
The waves pushing the boat left to right
I have been warned to hold tight,
I can’t wait to see Billy the island’s goat
Quick look! Dolphins leaping beside the boat.
I can see the sun kissed islands ahead
“Ten minutes to docking” the captain said,
I feel excited, my heart is beating fast
Star Castle, gig racing are here at last.
