Let hold the absolute bearing
a keel held high and yet sound
above and beyond the sea caring
not to turn and too not, turn around
Although be wind and wild waves
holding of faces to sunrise and set
all stoic and somewhat demanding, brave
our jaws and our wills salty, and wet
The course and direction of valor
through eons of sail and of hull
pulling and settings of anchors
a life that's not staid and/or dull
Launch Auld Mug to the heavens
and pull the cord, at the main
forever in water's great mansions
that Poseidon remembers
our names

and pull the cord, at the main
forever in water's great mansions
that Poseidon remembers

Hail the sailors of auld
and know that history called
faster on sea and on foam
louder than any storm
or great squall
:D
Listened to John Denver's "Calypso" very inspiring :)
