On ships tossed, beneath the thunder. Courage fails, men cut asunder. O'er billowing waves roll we, on living mountains of the sea. "Avast! Batten down! Trim yon sail !" Rings strident voice, o'er crashing swell. "Let the Dutchman fly!" I heard the cap'n cry. Through spray of brine, with steel of grin. "Be we mice,...or be we men?" "Stand fast! ye men of the sea, meet yer fate what ere she be." "Dare ye win favor with the Gods and me? Then dance this dance with mystic sea." Inspired by our own Cap'n Sy |

Thank you Martie and Marge, lets hope I don't get drawn and quartered when Cap'n Sy sees it. Or have to walk the plank. :-) [This message has been edited by StevenS (10-06-2005 08:50 PM).] |
