"A Nudie Bar in Mynamar"
Near a nudie bar
In Mynamar
Were three sailors set ashore,
Under orders
To leave their quarters
And bring aboard an oar
Seems they misheard
The Captain's words,
Or just maybe out of spite
They hit the deck,
Aye, by heck,
With a lady of the night
The Capatain said,
"I'll have your heads
And send you to Neptune's grot!"
But she was cute,
Well worth the loot,
And it gave him second thoughts
Then he set free
The sailors three
And granted them reprieve...
"To the nudie bar
In Mynamar!
We'll go ashore on leave!"

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

-Sailors Psalm-
Have you no wine good sir
To drown away these tides?
For my ship is out to sea,
On tough waters

She'd had her day, The old boat.
Laying on her side, far away from sea and tide.
Grass grew between her planks.
