The Lippity Dip

Just there! Look fast!
Don't think and don't blink,
or else this one chance may just slip,
To catch a brief and fleeting glance
of the rare Lippity Dip.

What is that, you ask?
Why, do you not know?
My good friend, where have you been?
The Lippity Dip is a small clipper ship
that sales atop a small bean.

Oh, don't fret, my dear friend,
you heard right now just then.
Your ears, they are working just fine.
A ship, full and true, with ten sails well rigged,
On a bean in this garden of mine.

Alas, now it's gone.
The moment has passed.
The ship's sailed on beyond view.
I hope you could see it, the pride of bean ocean
(As I like to call my bean stew).
