A Finnish sea captain and a girl from Indonesia
Ran away to sea and sailed to Kathmandu
The captain said it was quite tricky trip
And a rather difficult trip for a sailing ship to do
Although most seafaring folk
Said the idea was quite peculiar and certainly
very strange
But as they tied up in the harbour
They both smiled a smile or two
After all they had sailed many uncharted fiords
And though mountains that seemed to touch the sky
A route assumed impossible and a foolhardy thing
to try
But their success meant they could finally marry
And the best man and bridesmaids had a little cry
And they honeymooned in a hot air balloon
Waving Kathmandu a fond Goodbye
So if you ever sail to Kathmandu
As you reach its strange mountainous Coast
Think of the Finnish sea captain and a girl from Indonesia
Raise a glass of rum and have a little toast.
Sail down a fjord? Why, yes, that sounds lovely. Get in hot air balloon? Not on your life!
ReplyDeleteI have been down many fiords in the past when I worked offshore, watching these sneaky Norwegians smuggle bottles of spirit to their friends as we sailed into Bergen. That was a long time ago though.
DeleteI have never been in a hot air balloon though but sometimes see them heading over the house in the summer.
And you have returned even though the A to Z has finished. . Few folk do that.
No sea monsters, or flying Zombie Demons with a taste for Seagulls?
ReplyDeleteThis was a lovely, gentle and romantic prose, Mr Z.
You really should have a page showcasing your wonderful drawings. Or even set up a separate blog to exhibit them.
I did that Miss lily but it was another blog and more work so I will stick with this one. I did away with the other blog in the end, plus my sky pictures blog. Having one blog is so much easier.
