needles and pins

Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Sew me a sail
To catch me the wind.


Sew me a sail
Strong as the gale,
Carpenter, bring out your
Hammers and nails.


Hammers and nails,
Hammers and nails,
Build me a boat
To go chasing the whales.


Chasing the whales,
Sailing the blue
Find me a captain
And sign me a crew.


Captain and crew,
Captain and crew,
Take me, oh take me
To anywhere new.


-Shel Silverstein
