Premium Member Not a Swimmer

There was a girly landlubber in pink  
Who to a burly fisherman was linked --
   Not a swimmer, she sank
   In his great big fishtank -- 
Now in winter she's a frozen ice rink

A confirmed landlubber is my friend Pete
  At water sports my friend Pete can't compete
    Once he tried on some skis
    Almost drowned in the sea
  Going rafting? ~ Batten down Pete's aisle seat

Premium Member Allure of the Sea

the allure of the sea
    divulged to me
  a whitecap's primeval roar
    waves gently lapping the shore

  come ye, landlubber
    her hidden bosom awaits
  swirling waters' pleasures
    nature's womb recreates

"A bucket is oft called a pail,
but a walrus is not a whale". 
So says the wise skipper 
of a Yankee clipper:
"It's more than a matter of scale.

While both of them like to swim,
I can tell you by golly, by Jim, 
while any landlubber
can see both have blubber,
a walrus has whiskers on him."

Premium Member The Blowhole Bully

Whale watching! Come on, let's go
   There's no time to be a landlubber
Grab your oars and get ready to row
   We're not after one for its blubber
Stay away from that blowhole bully
   who likes to scream and preach
There she is now, a big fat tubber
   She's blowing off, out of control
Yelling at another one on the beach 
   My goodness,  she likes to scold!

Premium Member Windsong

Briny tis vast bethrong
Balsam swept windsong
Droplets align brusque seas
Sailors beware perilous lees

Fickle fathoms she weeps
Discorded notion steeps
Coquet tempest squall 
Bounden to celestial call

Sail me matey, harness rein
Envious tis sodden domain
Cast to enchanted sea
Foolhardy, thou may be

Hasten to landlubber true
By chance nary pines you
Submerged in foamy cascade
 Seawaters tis possessive maid
