Cap'N and the Wench -Part the First-
"Cap'n & the Wench" *part the first*
Says the Wench to the Cap'n "I thinks I'll have Me a Beer!"
So says the Cap'n to the Wench " Go right ahead Me Dear!"
With an Evil Grin & a Twinkle in his Eye~
So's the Wench did notice & then by & by~
Did say to the Cap'n "Be mindin' Yer P's & Q's!"
"Fer Me's the Wench what Decides that which Ye do!"
"Fer Yer no Porpoise & that there's no Danged Flipper!"
"Har!" says the Cap'n ~ "I am though the Skipper!"
The Wench did then Tumble down the Companionway....
The Cap'n figgered was his time now to Play....
'Round & 'Round to the Foc'sl they Wrestled....
Twere Both quite Surprised when in the Crow's Nest they Nestled!
The Mighty North Wind did so Howl that Wild Night....
The Great Ship did Roll with Nary a Wave in Sight....
When then there was a Tremendous Bolt from the Blue....
"Har!" Says the Wench "'Twas Me I figgered Ye knew!"
The Ol' Cap'n was all a'Shivered from Timber to Timber....
"Nay not to Worry" says the Wench "I'll be gettin' ye Limber!"
Now the Rest o'this Tale is Told from Time to Time....
The Ending is always said to be Mighty Rightly So Fine.....
The Great Ship is Seen Oft enough Sailin' Again on the Seas....
With Always enough Beer with which that Hardy Wench to Please!
