Will you draw me a ship?

 Will you draw me a ship?

Please draw me a ship.

Will you draw me a ship?

I am busy.

Will you draw me a ship?

I cannot draw.

Do you like Captain Hook?

He was a pirate.

The Galleon?

That's history.

Noah?

That's for the Bible.

So she drew and drew and drew.

Here is a ship.

You can see the outside and the inside.

It is not Captain Hook's,

The Galleon, 

Or Noah's

I looked at her three-ships-in-one,

And into the soul of this child.

I have been a grown-up too long.

Will you draw me a ship? ~
