A silly little poem I made up when I was about 19 years old. Being prone to seasickness I have never forgot the words... IF I WERE A SEAFARING MAN If I were a seafaring man I tell you what I'd do... I'd build the "Island Princess" and fit her with a crew. I would sail the largest waves I would sail all oceans blue If I were a seafaring man that's exactly what I'd do. I can see me at the helm bravely bracing the salty spray Cruising t'ward the horizon, where the sun slowly fades away... I would be a mighty sailor, a captian of glorious fame And in every single port of call they would surely know my name. ALAS! But here I am a landlubber through and through My pocket's full of Dramamine And I'm clinging here to you! You see, I can't go out there where that blue water rushes quick For once I touch that wobbling deck I'm surely to be SICK! IF I were a seafaring man, I tell you what I'd do I'd build the "Island Princess" And fit her with a crew.
