the boating bard
boating attire
I don’t stress how I dress👗
because I live on a boat
But my favoured attire is
peaked cap and waist coat 🧢🦺
with sturdy worn boots👢👢
and a bright neckerchief 🧣
I sometimes let slip
those garments underneath 🩲
It’s a shock for gongoozlers📸
Who see more than they ought😱
A bare bottomed boater🍑
Hanging out on their boat

I have been living full time with my husband on my narrowboat Lucy for the past 3 years and have reignited a childhood passion of poetry writing.
I have a number of boat related poems. 'Bouffant Boating Blues' is about boat hair; 'Damp' is about Boating Feet...
