The ship has arrived,
so be ready, people…
Bring something to eat, hurry,
They must be hungry and thirsty
They must be tired and weary …
Who knows what difficulties,
They might have met,
When they were sailing….
They might have met pirates,
Who might have tried to kill them,
They might have met a whale,
Who could have gulped the ship,
They could have been stuck,
In a dangerous hurricane,
Who knows what had happened,
When they were sailing ….
You must have heard of the pirates,
They are so dangerous
And so very fearsome,
They drink a lot of rum
And are always drunk,
They have no mercy at all
They kill people for fun.
But they are excellent sailors
And excellent fighters with the sword,
They have big ships
Which are huge and firm
And their captain looks like a fool,
With one eye covered
And one leg of wood
So the ship might have gone through this
It must have made them tired
It must have been so difficult,
When they were saling…
You must have heard of a blue whale
It’s the largest mammal,
It can easily gulp anything
It is so very terrifying.
It can come out of nowhere
And break the ship
Into pieces of wood.
There is no way to escape
If you happen to cross a whale.
But our ship must have done that somehow,
because of their bravery and patience
When they were sailing…
You must have heard of the hurricanes
They are violent winds in the ocean,
Which can destroy everything
On their way.
It is difficult to survive a hurricane
Almost impossible.
But our ship must have done it
Because they are brave and strong.
They must have survived it,
When they were saling………
That is why I say
Please help these sailors,
Who are back from trading
Overseas.
They might have gone
To many places….
But now they are back
To the place where they belong…….
So people help them
Because only god knows..
What difficulties
Might have come
When they were sailing..
