‘The Tall Ships!’ by Jacob Todd, Age 14 Years

The Tall Ships!
I was expecting a lovely walk in town,
When suddenly I heard a booming sound,
I looked up high and what did I see?
Some fireworks shining beautifully,
People were pushing, shoving, surging,
Trying to get a glimpse, of THE TALL SHIPS!
There was one particular ship I saw,
With red sails and a yellow door.
It shone and shimmered.
To me it glimmered,
The bow ploughed through the dark blue,
The boat steered straight and true,
It was time to go home,
Leave the ships and crowd alone.
