All at sea

Eamon1943

knowlegable brummie
Water water everywhere not a drop to drink
I hope this boat I'm on doesn't leak or sink

I've roved the field survived the flood
and sailed the seven seas

Mainsail up course is set
waiting for a breeze

Rain & hail waves up high going out to sea
the crew the captain and the writer me

Hoist the sail steady as you go
pounding through those mighty waves
swishing to and fro

Most were sick and tossed about
as some tried to shout

The captain never saw the rocks beneath
as we shuddered to a halt

The captain shouted abandon ship "
knowing he was at fault

Life can be so cruel or kind.always treat
it with respect

If you abuse ignore its wrath it's only
what you'd expect

When you next look out to sea think of
those souls now lost

Heed all those warning signs it will be
your life and cost.
