raise the rough to line the mast
deberth the craft, no longer fast
spread the sheets to catch the gale
shave my chin, and then set sail

I must look fine upon the deck
as passers-by will turn their necks
and gaze afar from distant dock
but once nearby, they wince in shock

You came to hear a song and dance
And ventured forth to flirt a chance
I do look sharp from distant shore
Surprise! in flesh, I am deplored

a tune to hear, a poem to read
and when you’re pleased, a dock to leave
so go ahead and do your deed
and teach my fragile heart to grieve
