Do You Tie Your House In Place At Night?

DO YOU TIE YOUR HOUSE IN PLACE AT NIGHT?


    Do you tie your house in place at night
and put bumper pads on the left and right?

When you get up and start to walk
does the floor tip and move and even rock?

Do you climb straight up to go outside
and is your playground a cockpit four feet wide?

Can you stand in your kitchen and throw bread chunks,
then watch twenty seagulls swoop and dunk?

Is your door called a hatch and your bed called a berth?
Does your house sit on water instead of on earth?

Can you weigh your anchor and hoist the sails,
then spend your day just watching whales?

And when the sun is getting dim
and the whales swim off and wave their fins --
do you tie your house in place again?

If not -- then come and visit me
and we'll sail my home across the sea.
