-Sailors Psalm-
Have you no wine good sir
To drown away these tides?
For my ship is out to sea,
On tough waters I have cried.
I drink for all the fallen men
Who chose to chug the strait.
Bravest crew I ever knew
God chose to be first mate.
On the bottom of the waters
You'll find them down below,
So tip your glass to heaven
And Go, Go, Go!
As the glug the ale down
Remember to spread the fable
Of hard drinkers of liquor,
And how they slammed the table.
Don't forget to mention
Their Betties that they rode.
Some wider than the whales,
And carriers of the ode.

My thoughts profound in shadows hide
as silence now screams loud the sound
of children caught quite deep inside
the vortex
Shivering weakness,
freezing rain
the children know
it's happening again.
Watching the house
sit black on the hill
the old man

"A Nudie Bar in Mynamar"
Near a nudie bar
In Mynamar
Were three sailors set ashore,
Under orders
To leave their quarters
by Katemouse
She'd had her day, The old boat.
Laying on her side, far away from sea and tide.
Grass grew between her planks.
