If I had a boat ...

Have I mentioned that I love the water?  Or boats?  Well ......  I do.  This ole Iowa farm girl can't help herself.  Something about the sea makes my soul sing.   Makes no sense to me why that stork dropped me off in cornfields and soybeans.  Guess he was just directionally challenged.

No matter.  At least I'm closer now being on the east coast.  I get my fix a couple of times a year.  And take enough photos to feed my hunger in between.  I was editing my recent Maine photos and the song "If I Had a Boat" by Lyle Lovett popped in my head.  Have you heard it? 

If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat



If I were Roy Rogers
I'd sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
It'd just be me and trigger
We'd go riding through them movies
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail



The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea



And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go wherever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea


And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

 

Yep, me upon my pony on my boat!  But, then ...  I think I may need a bit bigger boat than this one!

Until tomorrow, friends!
