What ‘our ‘as Come? “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky at morning, sailor’s take warning.” What is the 'our; I’ve just 'ad me shower and Matey is ‘avin’ ‘is tea. Should we be some worried, to ‘ome port be ‘urried or rest in the light on the sea? I said, “Ahoy, Mate, is it early or late? Look at the sky on the sea.” “It’s early, Dear Captain, I spoke to the Chaplain, ‘e’s prayin’ for you and for me.” I stifled my yawning faced the ‘arsh dawning and grabbed the two oars at my knee. “Sip all from your teacup; please don’t you dare ‘iccup, but gather two oars like as me.” “We’ve need for to ‘urry so we don’t get buried beneath a storm-laden sea. Gather your courage, don’t be discouraged, the sea is a great friend to me.” We struggled for ‘ours then spotted the towers that rise near the cove at Kalee. The cargo had rotted, but we both were spotted and saved from disaster at sea. The moral to the story to keep it ungory relax, pray and 'ave tea. When the captain 'as showered and proves not a coward, ‘e’ll bring you to land valiantly. So, if the ‘our is early with the skies very pearly ye know that a warnin’s at 'and, just settle back with your cup in a rack till ‘e says to ‘ead for the land. ©July 18, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
