Another time,another place

poem

 

 

Another time, another place

 

I’m very glad I came the day.

 the dragon ships put out to sea.

To race in the time honoured way.

A sight magnificent to see.

 

Established by long precedent.

The boats are crewed by volunteers

and every crew is confident

This year the honour will be theirs.

 

The winning crew do not expect

 to win a prize of great value.

But they are sure to win respect.

Which is the goal that they pursue.

 

It is an annual event

something to look forward to

A day of feasts and merriment

 and meeting friends both old and new.

 

 When it grows late the light will fade.

Our holiday draws to its close .

we say farewell to new friends made.

and memories too we will not lose..
