Uss Rv

My sweet wife wrote me an email for Valentine's day. Here it is:

Uss RV
Remember back when you and me
dreampt of living on the sea?
A tiny boat with an ocean surround
who would have thought we'de be stuck on the ground?

Oh our backyard RV
it ain't nothin' like the sea
It's mast is an antennae
for our 14 inch TV.
It's wheels - they aren't turning
in this harbor full of sand
And our house still isn't finished
(things took longer than we planned)

We thought that we would see the world
and though we never left the shore -
The view here isn't all that bad
from out the RV door.

Outside there is a princess
and two brothers in a fight
to vanquish each and every weed
within our garden site.

Above them is a sunset
staining cotton candy skies
around them is the sandy earth
- an ocean in disguise.
