Best Seamen Poems
Song of the Seamen and Their Ship Called Mary RoseMary Rose, the mighty sailing sea vessel glided majestically across the waves
She had robustly and bravely sailed the briny waves for many a night and day
With the ocean's heaving gusting squalls blowing off proud stern and mast
Sailing victorious and proud - her billowing white...

Dramatic Verse
Seamen ShanteySkinny-dipping with you is a thrill
For a man who is over the hill
But just one squiggly squirm
From a small dangling worm
And a fish will dart in for the kill!
A Sperm Whale with a mouthful of krill
Can swallow more than you ever will
Only octopus arms
Could adore...

Fecund Gamine Enthralls SeamenA cupola shin, prickly dick creed, hoary
testes tossed, master baiting ova all eel trades
crossed the fecund Rubicon and ejaculated
olly olly oxen yawping, in utero seminal raids
with phallic coup d’etat that buck came vasocongested spades
lit torch, where hello kitty Ernst...

Making them feel like freemen...

Standing stealthily silent

A Marry Time TaleA Bo'sun in the pub was wheezing
From Wanda Mann's underhand teasing
An organist by trade

That spouted away in a gale

And performed it just so
The Bo'sun would buy her more ale
The...

Sweating palms but hearts of oak
