A Steward Remembers
The captain in his long johns was suffering from
a terrible remorse that he foreswore booze for forty
days. Climbed to the masts top and refused to come down unless I gave him something to drink. Cant
do that I have given you a promise not to serve you anything for forty days Did I say nights too?
Yes you didhis arms got tired and slowly he slid
down. Now Im going to show my party trick, he
said and balanced on the railing but not before I had slipped a rope around his left ankle. Im a dancing bear, he shouted but the ship heaved and he fell into
the sea and when I hauled him back onboard he accused me for given the rope too much slack. Locked him in his cabin with a bible and for days he disturbed the tropical night with sermons and psalms, till I in desperation gave in and got him cold beer. Hes ok now but when he suffer morning remorse I always have a beer ready
before he has a chance to make a rash promise.
