"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!"

Shivering weakness,
freezing rain
the children know
it's happening again.
Watching the house
sit black on the hill

Ships at sea, whipping white sails,
Hushed seas, beckoning shores
Beseeching, calling, whispering

My grand dad would sit,
On the porch,
Beneath the shady trees,
And talk of sailing ships and seas,
Of sailors and

Twilight sleeps on event horizons' twine
Where the present, past, and the future combine
And a lost soul may seek unholy wisdom
