SHIPS?

Maya Angelou 1928-2014

Ships?

Sure I’ll sail them

Show me the boat,

If it’ll float,

I’ll sail it.

Men?

Yes, I’ll love them.

If they’ve got style,

to make me smile,

I’ll love them.

Life?

‘Course I’ll live it.

Just enough breath,

Until my death,

And I’ll live it.

Failure?

I’m not ashamed to tell it,

I’ve never learned to spell it,

Not Failure.
