Ashley wrote this in about 10 minutes. A little background, her uncle Tommy crashed a boat off the coast of Cape Cod and spend 6 hours floating in the Atlantic until Coast Guard choppers found him.
10 MINUTES! She should be writing childrens books.
Tommy and the Blue
My funny uncle Tommy
Went riding in his boat
He fell into the ocean
And then began to float.
He swam the Cape Cod ocean
For some six hours or more
Because he just could not reach
That shell-filled ocean floor.
Where was his great sea rescue?
Where was his Helicopter?
Who was going to come…
And save my uncle doctor?
Then suddenly a motion,
Beneath his swimming feet!
A big humungus blue fish!
Good enough to eat!
He hopped upon the blue fish
Who carried him to shore
Where Tommy jumped upon the beach
And kissed the sandy floor.
He turned to thank the Blue fish
For saving him from sea
And the blue fish smiled, and turned and said
“You’d have done the same for me!”
They sat and watched the sunset
Tommy and the Blue
Then slowy the great fish turned around
And Tommy, he turned too.
I’m tired now, the Blue Fish said
I’ve had a good long life
Take me home and cut me up,
and feed me to your wife!
