Too close for comfort
that’s for sure
why has that happened?
That ship is huge
while our lighthouse seems so tiny
in comparison.
Back, back, we shout!
Push, push, for pity’s sake…
can they hear at all?
But it’s beginning to work
Heave-ho – that’s the ticket!
My goodness that was worrying for a bit.

This photo shows a part of a ship that is anchored very near a lighthouse. The lighthouse appears very small in comparison to the ship.
Written in response to Sadje‘s What Do You See #295 photo prompt.

Worrying for a bit, Chris, … but I was sure you’d steer the ship to safety, …😉

Well, certainly my brother-in-law would be fine. He used to be a merchant sailor and he would navigate huge ships around the world!
