Listen to poem:
Lifeboat Men
The call goes out , the sirens sound
Crew face the angry sea
The heart beats faster, fear is found
Out there, there is no lea
Look past the bow, there is no lull
All windblown by the gale
Out in the boil, a windswept hull
Our mission must not fail
We see the craft, it's motor dead
The crew give us a wave
But they still feel the oceans dread
It's them we came to save
A rope is fired from boat to boat
We have to keep it tight
A man falls in, he will not float
We'll not lose one tonight
The crew hold tight, the crossing made
We take them down below
The drink we give, warm lemonade
Then safely home we go
