Will you draw me a ship?
Dr Abe V Rotor
Three-ships-in-one in pastel by Ma. Victoria M Primicias, 8
Awardee, 1994 National Food Authority Children's Art Workshop.
Please draw me a ship.
Will you draw me a ship?
I am busy.
Will you draw me a ship?
I cannot draw.
Do you like Captain Hook?
He was a pirate.
The Galleon?
That's history.
Noah?
That's for the bible.
So she drew and drew and drew.
Here is a ship.
You can see the outside and the inside.
It is not Captain Hook's.
The Galleon's.
Or Noah's.
I looked at her three-ships-in-one,
And into the soul of this child.
I have been a grown-up too long.
Will you draw me a ship?
