THE DANGEROUS SEA

THE DANGEROUS SEA

One dark night a long time ago, A goat called
Garth and his friend Hippo,
3
Went out in a boat and lost their way, Didnt
come back until the next day.
4
The wind blew hard, The sea was rough, But they
both thought, They were safe enough.
5
Although after a while, And far too quick, The
sailors two began to feel sick.
6
The boat went up, and the boat went down, Garth
and Hippo thought they would drown
7
Youre too fat! Youre too thin! Oh, lets
sit in the middle Before we fall in.
8
Then all of a sudden there was a loud crack ! Now
there were two boats, a front and a back !
9
Oh dear, oh dear, what shall we do? We went out
in one boat and now we have two.
10
They swam and they paddled, They splashed and
they screamed, They had some luck more than they
dreamed.
11
A passing ferry had seen the two, Sailed across
and made a rescue.
12
Remember this story Next time you go for a
ride,Out to sea On the evening tide.
13
The sea can be DANGEROUS, Take note of this
warning, And just like Garth and Hippo, Youll
come home safe in the morning.
