Will you draw me a ship?

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?
