Out on a liferaft looking for low flying aircraft and the sea shells that sound like the sea. I see nothing but water and sailors that caught a rough wave and paving the way for a saviour to appear is the rear admiral asleep and the course that we keep is quite random it seems, gleaned from the stars and the dockside bars, distilled by the gums that supped many a *** and smoked a canteen of navy cut cigarettes, where will it end?
The admiral wakes, takes a reading, 'land sakes', from the parrot that sits by his side and we glide on through the sea, what will be, what will be but what is is what worries me.
On the cockleshell shore where we floundered and wore out the heels of our boots, we set down some roots built huts from bamboo to save us from sunstroke and the Lloyds bell was rung for lost sailors and *** and the admiral asleep in the rear.
