Is this a form; two or three different things scotch-taped together to make a mpoe?

Question

*****

CAPRICORN

I was once, in a time, at the wheel

in a house of wheels,

I had to choose one,

They were all round,

They were all connected to the rudder,

I simply had to pick the one I liked,

When I grabbed the one marked ‘X’

we just took off…

I drove the boat

around the moat

and launched

the little dingy,

I flew the flag,

rang the bell

and fired

the little thingy,

Then I painted on her beam

a scene of fierce sea dragons

To sail from there to everywhere

stowed jugs and jars and flagons

Our compass set with no degree

From Perth to Madagascar

I, the sailor from the sea

She, the Captain and master.

Answer 1

Sorry, but this is a poem. You'll have to do worse next time.

Answer 2

Those little boats in the moats at carnivals...give me a ferris wheel, please.

Answer 3

I get the impression that the moat is the carnival tank?  Then I get the impression you launched your own "sea" craft for destinations unknown?  Then I look at mpoe and say, that is indeed one very, very fine mpoe!

Answer 4

Strange how the use of one little word - "thingy" - can set a sense of youth to the storyteller. A view of the imaginative mind - creating a whole "fantasy" world and history - from an experience of the mundane. Glory be to childhood ♥

Answer 5

I like the mpoe.  I do it unintentionally.

Answer 6

Liked this one, heaps.   It is very Lewis Carroll.

Would you like me to point out that dingy isn't spelled like that or would you like to remain in ignorance?...unless, shock, horror that's how you spell it in America.

I think it is more of a opme.

Answer 7

Perth to Madagascar would be a great trip, once round the moat is very limiting....the time was what? aged 4? Which Carnival? The Tropic of Capricorn does not touch anywhere near  Perth but crosses the south of Madagascar but I do appreciate the references.

God Bless the global travellers

Sailing on the lobal high seas!

Not limited to round and round

They go whereever they please

A Fine mpoe!
