Someone's Back

When a person is sailing a Boat,
To stick in one’s throat,
To win someone’s spurs,
To change one’s spots.

When a person is sailing a Boat,
Roaring success for increasing hot,
To stab in someone’s back,
That is already on a track.

When a person is sailing a Boat,
A house of cards hot-dogging a slot,
A stamp collector to spring to mind,
To go with the stream he has behind.

When a person is sailing a Boat,
To take someone’s out of themselves coat,
To heap coals of fire on someone’s head,
A person can enjoy if he is alive not dead.
