Poetry: A sailor's tale

"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!"

    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.
    No one thought
