Sea Happy
The sea and the sun Are good for one. If you can stick to your nation. But if you are such As takes too much. It acts in the quaintest fashion. Now here is a tale To turn you pale. Of a dig’ who had really got ’em, He would see things With legs and wings, Where no one else could spot ’em. Then one grim day In an alleyway, As he went to the pool with his pips on, A vision appeared Both eerie and wierd— A bathrobe strolling with pips on. He saw it smile With expressions vile, While it danced and beckoned inviting. And he leapt for the mast Exceedingly fast. The troops with his antics exciting. So the mate with a frown Then ordered him down. To the ’‘boob” where in x chains he’s now sitting. With needles and twine He’s getting on fine, With the straight-jacket he’s busy knitting. —2049,
