[hometext] => I was inspired by the title of an album of sea chantys. If you don't understand some of the sea terms, feel free to e-mail me. : )
[bodytext] => The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow “Get aloft” the captain shouts “Get aloft and raise the sails Get aloft you lot about Raise them fore the wind fails” The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow “Bear a hand” he says to me “Bear a hand is all-a-taut? Bear a hand and look a-lee We’ve a battle to be fought” The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow “All hands down on deck” he cries “All hands down, here comes a blow All hands down ‘midships, I spy There’s a naval sloop in tow” The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow “Level guns” he says below “Level guns, aim for the mast Level guns and don’t be slow Run them out and do it fast” The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow “Climb aboard” the captain wails “Climb aboard, we’ll take them down Climb aboard, cut down their sails Starboard broadside, turn around” The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow “Carry on” the bosun chants “Carry on in boarding her Carry on all through the cants We will win her now for sure” The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow “Chock-a-block” screams second mate “Chock-a-block, the Union Jack” “Chock-a-block” says Captain Tate “We won her on westward tack” The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow “Victory” shout all the tars “Victory” yells Rich the chips “Victory shows through our scars” Victory’s on everyone’s lips The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow “Back to Brit” the mates all yell “Back to Brit with our new prize Back to Brit and out of hell” Fortune inside everyone’s eyes The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O! How it does blow The sky is high And the sea is low The wind in the rigging O!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
