Thirty Knots an Hour


         His very bones smell of ocean
            beard lashed with its salt
         On land, rubber legs awkward
             he gapes and he gawks

         But rig him up a mast 
             billowy sails to go with it
         Prow boldly juts forward ~
             Thirty knots an hour, his ticket
