The Strait of Rondaleigh

 

The simian sailor launched his boat

In a bobbing and bouncing sea

He was happy to have the dingy float

As he counted waves as high as trees

 

He sailed south without an oar

Into the Strait of Rondaleigh

Standing at the helm on a board

He watched the sunset dance a play

 

A baseball cap shaded his eyes

White sneakers covered his feet

He sailed under the bluest skies

Wishing his dingy was a navy fleet

 

His cargo was a banana bunch

His passenger was a goat

They had banana and cheese for lunch

With rum to ease their throats
