Floating Bastions For Sale

Come, little curious child
of flesh and of metal!
Come up and climb
on my old but fancy pedestal!
||
I have so much to give you see,
but not much to sell.
Take a pick or two
from my floating carousel.
||
Do you prefer a thrilling adventure,
or a deep sea serenade?
Perhaps to the stars of the distant abyss,
Or wallow about in the great sky parade?
||
This, that or any of the twelve
is a lifetime worth of gleeful pleasure!
For the realms I carry before you
are endless and forever.
||
But I see a glint of reluctance...
masked by those innocent eyes.
Do not fear, young one
I am but a stranger who never tell lies!
||
No rush, no haste
take a swim in ocean time.
I hear all the ticks and tocks
of every decision but mine.
