There was once an old salt named Abel
With replacement parts to enable
When he died they made good
Of the left-over wood
Enough for three chairs and a table

blue hull
abandoned
in its twilight days
sailing the sea, no more
sadly, left upon the shore
"the fishing boat of an old salt"

Counterfeit hope.
Tangible soup.
Soundless.
Nothing tastes like sap.
Vein growth.
Crossed wire leaves.
An old salt mine.
I bet it tastes like salt.
When you have wires in your head.
You can feel condensation.
Hopeful condensation.
Once there was a man called Mike & Irk
got his sweetheart “sweet tooth” pop rocks,
Bon-bon, candy, lollipop, toffee
Wonka laffy taffy cherry
Bloody how could the “old salt” indulge in sweet-talk?

The Farming couple
The farmer and his wife
is harvesting almond
a net around the tree and
a long stick
she picks up the nuts and puts
them in a bag.
She is not wearing gloves and
her hands are that of
an old salt.
they go home for lunch
home- made bread and cheese
she does the washing up
while he snooze a little
in the autumnal sun.
Forth he went upon the sea
grizzled and tough as he could be.
But when the old salt came to shore
he'd look for Jenny Lynn some more.
She was lost from him for years;
he'd shed a bucket of bitter tears.
Dreaming of the day they'd meet
the old man had a heart so sweet.
Someday he would find his daughter.
Till then he'd spend life on the water.

Old Salt
Was Walt
Possessed
On chest
Tattoo
Of Lou
Each port
Had snort
Much booze
Blew fuse
Got tight
Had fight
Some beef
With Chief
Unwise
Blacked eyes
Uptight
Lost fight
For prank
Lost rank
For swig*
In brig
*One interpretation of swig is - strike heavily with fist!
