Seeking a Friendly Ship,
Waters of Silver Ripples,
And Beaches of Branchless Trees.
A Sun that Burns the Skin
Clouds that Embrace,
Parrots that Speak Bloody French,
God ! Am I going Insane
Is that a Damn ship out there
Will it hit the Damn Reef
Will my Dumb Dog greet me
Dammit, it’s the bloody Spanish
But behind this Coconut Jungle
And Creepers of Blue Lilies
And Past that thorny hell bush
Is a Jungle of Great Trees
Trees of Giant Timber
A Jungle of Tamarinds
With a Saw from the old Wreck
Could I Build a Two Mast Ship
