    Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
    A tale of a fateful trip,
    That started from this tropic port,
    Aboard this tiny ship.

    The mate was a mighty sailing man,
    The skipper brave and sure.
    Five passengers set sail that day,
    For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.

    The weather started getting rough,
    The tiny ship was tossed,
    If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
    The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.

    The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle,
    With Gilligan,
    The Skipper too,
    The millionaire and his wife,
    The movie star,
    And The Rest,
    Here on Gilligan’s Isle.

    Congrats on your win!!! Marie

    Oh wow what a special surprise. You might like my photo but your poem is amaizing. Fits the photo so perfectly : )
    I love it !!!!

    The poem is the lyrics from the show that was aired in the 70’s called Gilligan’s Isle. I can’t take credit for that. When I saw this photo, I thought about that show because they had this type of photo setting when the show was broadcast. Marie
