Sailor and Tailor

Talk of True Valor
And it is ‘Sailor’,
Not ‘Confined Tailor’;
Quite Mobile Sailor,
Not Static Tailor
Facing Cloth and Color; 
In Shops of Pallor 
Pin Pricks of Dolour…

And tailors tell lies,
Sailor: where storm lies! 

Tailors work and chant,
Sailors for merchant.
They don’t flee from Rum; 
Rum helps them to hum 
And kick colleagues’ bum:
Their own Chewing Gum!

Tailor near to us 
With the job one does; 
Sailors’ Ship “Not Bus”, 
At sea wins his plus…

But he’s Pure Valor 
Tailor for Color.
