Just a Boat


A boat.

That is what I want,

when left on an abandoned island,

marooned in the middle of nowhere.

 

A boat 

to set me afloat,

away from that desert island,

marooned in the middle of nowhere.

 

As Piggy said, "We may stay here til we die."

but I won't. I won't stay.

That would be giving up, 

something we should never do.

 

So leave me a boat, 

when you maroon me, 

Leave a boat,

leave a fighting chance,

just a boat for I won't stay,

marooned in the middle of nowhere.
