Suez Canal-
The bypass performed,
On the chests of the Egyptians,
Bleeding for miles carrying to sea,
Blue sea,before blood mix,
Red Sea after both had sex!
More than fifty ships go through the Suez Canal on any day.
However, a very large freighter has blocked the passageway.
The ship called the "Ever Given" comes from a company in Taiwan.
Unsuccessful efforts to move the vessel have been going on.
Tugboats and personnel are trying to get the big ship free.
Meanwhile, hundreds of other craft have been stalled on the sea.
This incident is having a negative impact on the world economy.
From a story found in the Los Angeles Times.
My journey through life has seen so much
far have I traveled and much I have done
seen so many things that most others never do
the rock of Gibraltar, with teems of scary monkeys
traveling out we sailed through the Suez canal
wondrous mysteries that delighted an eight year old
camels striding along, enormous crocs floating by
the land so close you want to touch it and run on it
Zanzibar our next port of call, ram shackled boats galore
the heady scents of spices abounds teasing the nostrils
the vivid different colors everywhere flood my senses
on to our destination Dar-es-Salaam harbor most picturesque
a miss mash of ships some luxury most tramp ships or boats
sails of all colors, dark people unloading trunks from the holds
this was a time taken out of time, a way of life quite relaxed
just think of the things ahead, the adventures that awaited me

contest Your Journey
in 1958 the Suez canal was open later it got blocked by sunk ships
Ships of Poverty
Going through the Suez Canal in the fifties was
fraught every porthole and doors had to be
locked or we were robbed.
The ship swarmed with carpet sellers, thieves
and people selling dubious alcohol and
*********** that even looked old fashioned
and they were not shy touching up a young
sailor. And for us who had no education we
thought this was Egypt a country of robbers
and shameless perverts.
The Red Sea, Persian Gulf another nightmare
on ships that had no air condition. We slept
on deck to catch the cooling morning breeze.
Our suffering made ship owners very rich.
Little Jack sits in a class-room
With tears in his little eyes.
He’d like to leave the room soon,
But he still sits there and cries.
“What happened” – the janitor asks,
“You know, boys shouldn’t cry.
Your teachers gave too many tasks
Or the lessons were too dry?”
Little Jack still sobs and sighs,
He fears to raise his little head.
“My friends and teachers were nice
Oh, I feel so stupid and ashamed!
My geography teacher told me today
To find the Suez Canal on the map,
But the Canal had oddly gone astray
Please, look at the atlas on my lap!”
The janitor sets about leafing through
This colorful, thick, interesting book
“It’s difficult to catch on – it’s true,
But we’ve the Suez Canal here, look!”
Little Jack’s eyes cheered up at once.
He was embarrassed but very content
With the sudden discovery – he cries:
“I looked for it on another continent!”
The Suez Canal is finally free
Precious toilet paper can come to me
This too large cargo ship
In the world a backward flip
Twas as crazy as Boston Harbor's tea
The whole world considers the Suez Canal passe-partout.
Every day, numerous ships routinely pass through.
A big ship called the "Ever Given" blocked the passageway.
For a while, it looked as if this behemoth was there to stay.
The carrier getting stuck there was quite a calamity.
Many other vessels waited in the Mediterranean and Red Sea.
Other European craft desiring to reach ports in Asia
decided to sail the long way around South Africa.
With considerable effort, workers got the Ever Given free.
Merchant vessels again go through the canal to reach the sea.

I was seven when we departed for East Africa
and what a journey lay ahead of us. First the
Suez canal which felt like you could touch the
opposite bank as we sailed through them.
We saw plenty of crocs and native people
hard at work planting and growing crops
dressed in very colourful long robes
Then out into the red sea on our way
to crossing the meridian date line
Back then in 1958 Neptune board
the ship and a ding dong party
took place welcoming him aboard.
On we went to Zanzibar and The
trade people looked pirates
These natives ware the first dark
skinned people we had met and
many of them bore horrific scars

stuck close to our mum while
she reassured us they meant
us no harm we weighed anchor
and set off on the last leg of
our journey and docked in
Dar-es-Salaam on my eight
Birthday and to ten years of
pure bliss what a place to
grow up in I often wish
I was still there
love on the high seas
He was a happy man, had passed the catering exam, and got employment as second cook on a tank ship
To make happiness perfect his girlfriend had a job on the same ship, keeping the crew's mess hall clean.
How long was Adam in Paradise?
The fall came in the form of a mellifluous-voiced sailor
that had a call of love she could not resist and after work
she listened to his vocalization until one evening she stayed all night before going back to the cabin she shared with the second cook.
Pale and devastated he came in the galley to make breakfast, but the cook sent him to the store-room to fetch prunes needed to stuff pork loins.
When he came back he held in his right palm a finger
lacking from the left hand; an accident he said, we knew
he had done this for love.
At the entrance of the Suez Canal, he was sent ashore but there were some delays and he came back onboard in Port Said, because the ship was bound for Antwerp it was cheaper to send the boy home from there
His girlfriend starry-eyed and in love thought she could move in with a sailor who had a beautiful voice, but he
looked morally upset and refused her advances which
of course, that was not true, he had had his fun and goodbye
The shock of the rejection made him see sense, the second cook and she became lovers again, and she had forgiven him
(he didn't ask for what) and he forgave her.
Happy again, they left the ship in Antwerp, to take the train home, and their adventure ended.
Nine months after October 6, 1973
PM Golda Meir of Israel was history
For an intelligence failure colossal
She became a political fossil…
Fast forward to October 7, 2023
When Hamas went on a barbaric spree
Killing more Jews than any day since the Holocaust ended
Yet PM ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu’s had his term extended
Where is the leader to end Bibi’s reign
~ flush him and his generals down yesterday's drain
__________________________________________________
On October 6, 1973, Egyptian pontoons crossed the Suez Canal
into Israeli-held Sinai, unchecked by Israeli forces, a colossal
intelligence failure on the part of Israel's military. Prime Minister
(PM) Golda Meir and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan were sacked
nine months later---despite being heroes to much of Israel's
populace.
