It's a wonder he sleeps at all With the bright lights on his wall With continuous flashing And the strong winds lashing I would be yawning Long after the time of dawning
The lighthouse keeper should watch for ships Though blinded due to constant light blips Sleep to the music of constant waves But awake he is for ships he saves Perhaps he should retire at the crack of dawn Watch those vessels during the night and yawn
The heavy sleeper, lighthouse keeper Needed eight alarms and also a beeper Once he woke up, scratching and yawning He used 'shine language' for communicating
It is a wonder he gets up at all Hearing the waves crash and fall. Theres no one to talk to & nothing to see. Theres nothing to do 'cept drink up his tea.

ReplyDeleteWith the bright lights on his wall
With continuous flashing
And the strong winds lashing
I would be yawning
Long after the time of dawning
Sleep all day to work all night
ReplyDeleteHelping anyone within sight
Must stay awake to save each boat
Shine the light to keep all afloat.
