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
