Captain Marvy set sail
For a long journey ahead
Cargo to deliver
Crates of buns, jams and bread.
The sun was bright
Temperature warm
The currents just right
Crew in full form.
“All ready” he shouted
Got ahoys in return
A hearty roar ensured
As the ship’s gears turned.
But “Wait” came a cry
From an embarrassed Captain Marvy himself
“My lucky jackets yet to dry
Let’s not start today.”
They came back the next day
Captain Marvy in his lucky blue
All set to sail
Right current, temperature and crew.
But “Wait!” cried Captain Marvy
“The weather seems a bit off
The sky’s cloudy
Could be the warning of a storm.”
So, they stopped
Called it a day
Set plans for the morrow
To start, come what may.
Yet, the next morning
The air was dusty
The next, assistant cook missing
Air too chilly day after.
A week passed by
All days unfavorable
The buns and bread rotten
No longer edible
Captain Marvy got a call
“The order’s cancelled”
For he had waited
Waited
And waited to set sail
For the right day
A day which would never come
