Analysis of Forget me
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Little boats break by little hands
Sailing is like flying flying up flying down
Sailing is floating floating up floating down
Surfing is gliding gliding up gliding down
Splashing is jumping jumping up jumping down
Giant boats break beside beached whales
