They All Float

by I Seem to be the Heartless   Apr 24, 2007


Follow the little paper boat
Down to the sewer drain
It sails its set course
On the trail of rain.

Oh no! Your paper boat is gone
It's fallen into the darkness below
But don't worry, I have it
And I'll never let it go.

Come on, little Georgie
Come get your paper boat
I have balloons too, Georgie
Join us, we all float.

I'll be your best friend,
Just give me your hand
Give it to me, Georgie
Give it I demand.

You'll be happy down here
You'll make many friends
Join us, little boy
For you this is the end.

Now that he's with me
Nothings remains but his yellow raincoat
Tomorrow I'll find more children to join -
They'll all float.

    Oh my, that was really dark....it scares me. It painted a beautiful, but very scary, image in my head. It flowed smoothly and the words were perfect. Keep it up!

    Hm it lacked originality I guess but it was good otherwise.
