Celebrate - Rhyme-time on the SSB Net
Today was “RHYME-TIME” and the radio-net assignment was to report in with a rhyme. I received the terrific entries below via email and also received wonderful on-the-spot rhyming reports from: Adela, Ghost, Polaris, and Sweet Pearl.
*****FROM Merlyn of Poole
There once was an Oyster called 'Merlyn'
But not the sort having a pearl in,
She had a great day
Been sailing away
Main fully out no need for furlin'
*****FROM American Spirit II
An Ode to the Southern Ocean
Davie Jones has nothing on me,
Because we are where we should be,
Sailing over the ocean,
With a nice gentle motion.
As we continue to sail,
There is no need to bale,
As we've missed that giant sperm whale.
While other boats make the mad dash,
American Spirit II is content to watch another green flash.
*****FROM Folie a Deux
caught and released a small female mahi,
to feed a future world ARC rally. [pronounced raliegh.]
then pulled down our pink underpants sail,
and replaced wth our stronger 'red threat',
in preparation for the heavier wind we hope we will get!
roses are red,
violets are blue,
all is well,
aboard follie a deux
for the french purist folks perhaps blue should be pronounced blah
*****FROM Celebrate
Today, in the Southern Atlantic
Celebrate had no cause for panic
With a radio-show antic
and poems pedantic
and the waves which were far from gigantic
We fixed up our leaking fresh-water
though the tank went down to one quarter
We sopped up the floor
and made up some more
And continued across the Atlantic
