Jammer's Wheel -Sicilian Quatrain

To be upon the sea again And feel waves spray wetting my face The rolling deck its pitching then far sight of land without a trace Make fast tops’l s, royals, gallants Tack now, sheets need to pickup slack Ship’s degree from breeze compliance Play it for a double league Jack We be for Shanghai where tea waits To fill our hold for London town Baring bad turn by fickle fates Safely back for the British crown. To be upon the sea once more I’ll take my place at jammer’s wheel And feel its kick and trying chore Then take my eats at evening meal
