Sleek boat to crush the water

Take care to tell your daughter

Men in shades will lure you there

With promises of what they’ll share

 

Choose carefully those you love

If chosen right you’ll sing like doves

Be whisked along at  Bluebird speed

Like Campbell at the helm of need

 

Tempted not by fame and glory

We all know Campbells fateful story

Ending in obliteration 

Posthumous hero of the nation

 

Instead explore the slower path

The Baker takes his time to craft

The daily bread we all  do need

For health and strength and mental deed

 

Look to the North  and you will find

A soulmate of a different kind

One that’s fair of mind and nature

One that loves, and heart you’ll capture.
