/// The Young Shipbuilder worked and ignored
his twin sister, neglected and bored.
“If I properly scale it,
when it’s done, we can sail it,”
he now said. In response, Greta snored.
/// The boy, Balser, built many a boat.
Over each he would lovingly dote.
Brought them down to the moat
where his sister would gloat
as they sank. Balser’s boats couldn’t float.
/// Sick and tired of his smug sister’s gloating,
Balser vowed that this time they’d go boating.
He had two urgent goals:
To plug up the hull’s holes,
and then paint one more waterproof coating.
/// Once again, all his work came to nil,
as he watched the new boat quickly fill
up with water and sink.
He’s too trusting to think
that his sister had “borrowed” his drill.
/// Balser’s sister deserved a good soaking;
what she’d done had gone far beyond joking.
It’s her fault for provoking
her twin to start poking
Greta into the moat for breaststroking.
