So ya want ta sail, me hearty,
and ya set ta see the world.
Just sign away ya life, Jack,
and stow ya gear forward.
There's room enough in foksel
for the bloomin' likes of you,
we'll put ya right ta work, Jack ,
just as soon as ya met the crew.
Ya take ya orders from the mate
and give him none ya jaw, Jack.
For if ya do, me bucko, ya'll
feel cat's claws upon ya back!
Ya'll climb the ratlines when he tells ya,
ya'll splice a piece of line,
ya'll swab the decks with effort
and tar the seams in time.
When ya trick is o'er and ya tired some,
we'll give ya grog and hardtack.
Take yaur lime but remember, Jack,
don't be waster in ya sack!

Hi Penny,
Thanks for your kind words. My dad was third mate aboard a Danish merchant ship when there were sails. He told me some sea stories you wouldn't believe. Being Danish, I guess I have the sea in my veins. Maybe I'll write some more about the sea and tell what life was like aboard those ships.
Always,
Laurie |
