Land's End
"Land's End"
All at once & with such Very Great Flair ~
So's no-one would notice what'd really taken Place~
SeaWolf & his Wench grabbed a wild Notion from thin Sea Air~
That with which they'd figured nary a Soul could keep Pace~
Off to the Hills & the Highlands they did calmly Go~
Where the Whisky was White & the Winds didn't Blow~
Some said they were shirking the responsibilities of the Sea~
Yet others claimed they had decided times had a Changed~
Only the Wench & her Captain did'st want to be left Free~
For the times were a changin' on the Seas they had Ranged~
Into the Hills they toured with Gusto & Force~
Leaving their Oceans with no sense of Remorse~
SeaWolf carried a Great Sabre from the Ship~
Wench did'st carry Herself well & with a Keen Step~
Bullwhip coiled & hanging from His Hip~
SeaWolf & the Wench knew Naught of their Wild Rep~
The boys of the Highlands did'st drink what they Could~
The Wench stood well and drank from Barrels of Wood~
Mountain girls of the Clan went down One by One~
Mountain men did their best to outdo her Man~
Neither was standing at each Fall of the Sun~
SeaWolf & the Wench outdrank the whole Clan~
Then came a night when the Winds did'st Howl~
Wench & her Captain were now on the Prowl~
The boys from the Hills gathered in Force~
The girls lifted their skirts in Provocative Dare~
With Bullwhip & Sabre SeaWolf beat 'em all back of Course~
And the Wench She just Laughed at the Girls with Arses Bare~
From those Mountains they took naught but that which they'd Brung~
Then deciding that those damned hills were filled with smelly Dung~
Back to the Waters they Raced as the Seas did'st Compel~
Finding all was as they'd left it & so much in the same State~
Yet better still now was a'Raging a Wild Wind named Michelle~
So did'st they both know this was but so truly their Fate~
Setting Great Sails once again & into the Winds of the North~
Did'st SeaWolf & his Wild Wench again sally Forth~
Once encompassed by the Turmoil o'the Seas & Great Wind~
SeaWolf & the Wild Wench looked themselves squarely in the Eye~
For at that moment they knew what truly was to them surely kin~
Still the lands o'the Earth would be a'waitin' Bye & Bye~
Now riding those Gales and Winds of Hurricane Force~
Taking Michelle back to Sea as fast as they could Rage~
For all Three knew that this was for them the best Course~
Their time for the Land as yet had not come of Age!
