Thar she blows!

Just as history sinks every headline today
so we forget proverbs that grans used to say.
O cry foul at the captain who says that he tripped
and fell in the lifeboat that gave him a lift.
Froth and bother! but listen for ghosts who now quip:
There's many a slip twixt cap and ship.

    Ah friends, if only this were a beautiful pea green boat, we could toast each other with grapefruits, eh Lucy?
    And Joe, I'd expect nothing less from you than ballads, transporting enough that you're the bypass in the waves' rollick - the magic weight that steadies our inner ears.

    I don't know about Lucy, but you're so powerful that when you said, "YOUr LIFT(ing" that was the trigger, being on the high seas as we are, that I hurled the cat.
