The Moon Boat — Robert Anthony 2019. “I assure you this lovely, vibrant moon boat, Is safe and secure, it’s guarded by love, Forget your religion, your colour, your race, Board as a mermaid and fly like a dove. Dancing on waves it will safely float, It’s a cradle; a swing, and a rose’s bud, It can fly as well; it’s a silky moon boat!” The Moon Boat – Akhtar Jawad
