Maggie’s question was so very clear:
“Hey Mom, what’s that terrible shudder?
Did we lose our propeller or rudder?
Our boat shouldn’t shake
like a blue jello cake!”
Within seconds we knew Maggie was right,
so John went to confirm our sad plight.
We put down the swim ladder
to see what was the matter.
His dive wasn’t long,
he knew just what was wrong.
Our voyage has come to a stop,
we lost a blade on our prop.
It had three when it was new
and now it has two,
and makes a terrible sound
when we motor around.
So we’re stuck here in Almerimar,
thank goodness there’s more than one bar!
Ice cream for the kids, for us it’s just rum,
while we wait for the new prop to come.
