Ocean of Beer
Two sailors were in the water
because their ship went down.
There was nothing but water
for miles and miles around.
—
As they floated on their raft
with only the waves to hear
One sailor said that he wished
this ocean was made of beer.
—
Lightning flashed in the sky,
though it was so clear and blue
To the amazement of the sailors
the wish actually did come true.
—
The other sailor said to the first,
“Why didn’t you just let things be”.
Now that the ocean is made of beer,
where are we are going to pee.
About this poem
I was watching an ad for a movie where someone was stuck in the middle of the ocean.
