Trapped on an Island
Trapped on an island how did I get here?
There is nothing here but the trees and sand,
nothing for miles in this desolate land.
I went on a cruise what a fun little trip,
but now I sit here without food or a ship.
Trapped on an island how did I get here?
My belongings are lost in the turbulant sea,
no other souls around except little lost me.
I once was surrounded by comforts a plenty,
now nothing but the trees rocking ever so gently.
Trapped on an island how did I get here?
The storm came out of nowhere to our great surprise,
to remember the devestation and my certain demise.
I lay here quite spent thinking ever so strongly,
not of the bad things or whoever has wronged me.
Trapped on an island how did I get here?
The day started out great with a breakfast buffet,
but around noon the sky turned an ominous grey.
The storm was the biggest I could have ever imagined,
the boat collapsed on itself like a sinking accordion.
Trapped on an island how did I get here?
Now I think about food and something cold to drink,
A large hamburger, or pizza, or a large sausage link.
I have no hope of survival in this blistering heat,
the sun is cooking me gently like a large slab of beef.
Trapped on an island how did I get here?
I am thinking about what is truly dear to my heart,
a computer, a flask, a phone, for sure not a shark!
I know without doubt what I hold most dear,
I can't live without my loving family here.
