Lost At Sea

“I can still see the ship!”
“I’m sure they will wait.”
Then it sailed away.

“We will sue them!”
“This is an outrage!”
Read your contract.

“Wow. I missed my plane.”
“That’s on me.”
Yes, yes it is.

“Wow. I missed my cruise.”
“That’s their fault.”
Pretend it’s a plane.

Author: Blind John Ellsworth

Blind John Ellsworth (1960- ), a (questionable) poet and sometimes Texas bluesman. He has recorded one spoken-word album (thankfully unreleased), since he is still trying to learn to play guitar. (Lack of musical skills is what makes him a poet and not a lyricist. Plus, he can’t write music.)
