Mersey Ferry

Mersey Ferry, Mersey Ferry,

Go across the sea,

Take them a Daffodil,

Take them an Iris,

Tell them I love them

And tell them I care

Return them back safely

And you shall be queens

So, go bring my loved ones

Back home to me

Notes

A simple rhyme in a new series I'm writing and invite people to add to. This one recalls how the Mersey Ferries became 'Royal' (e.g. the Iris became, the Royal Iris, as with the Daffodil) following their involvement in the evacuation from France following the failed invasion. The style is intended to be used with skipping games.
