Oh... I like a rime
From time to time
Just maybe a line or two
Though often more I often do
Rime of the sea
Tis a pleasure to me
Rime of a rime
With me is just fine
Sail with a song
You cannot go wrong
Sail with an eye aloft
Your breezes should be soft
So here then for you
Is now a line or two
Rime rimed ago
Of thoughts just so
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Destined"
So sailed they then o'er seas well spent~
Torn their skys & mastheads back bent~
Under their bowsprits well to a'sea~
From ravages o'wind did'st they then flee~
Down from their bulwarks & under their keels~
Sharks & Dorados & green Moray eels~
Mermaids a'singin' shantys o'love~
Sailin' a'sunder moon black above~
Marseilles & Gibralter they sailed all a'tune~
Meldemi & Cyclones & greatest Typhoon~
Thallasa & Caribbean with Sargasso a'drift~
Sails o'wind & bows so swift~
Madagascar & Seychelles then great Horn~
O'seas o'which all tales ayre born~
Azores or Atlantis e'er so wanderin'~
Oceans depths naught fer a'ponderin'~
Equator crossed once & then twice~
Tropic of Cancer & towering white ice~
Gales blown wildly o'Cape Verde's storms~
Life's blood then of ethereal forms~
Down down down did they go~
Sailors o'seas when winds did'st so blow~
Round 'round 'round & about~
Ships & sailors verily stout~
Cliffs o'Dover & Isle o'Man~
Fjiords o'Vikings so 'twas a' plan~
Off then across blue wide & deep~
They to themselves a promise to keep~
Ne'er again seen were those hands~
O'ships then so sailed to far distant lands~
Sails black & torn o'hell bent~
Hulls a'twisted & minds then well spent~
Under they went to bottom at last~
Down deep steps & into cold past~
Sailors all & lives o'great deed~
Years so destined o'hearts in such need~
