Limerick to Skipper Dave to redress past wrongs.

There was a young skipper called Dave
Sailed Silurian on the ocean wave
“When you’re feeling seasick don’t try to be brave
“USE A BUCKET” said our skipper called Dave.

He plotted our course through force seven eight and nine
Even found us ONE day that was sunny and fine
Put on Cherokee sunblock and goolagong hat
Drove the rib to the pub although blind as a bat
in the dark did our skipper called Dave.

He taught us charts and knots and how
To save on water gas and power
“Don’t waste the water we’re getting low !
(as down the outpipe it did flow)
shouts our caring skipper Dave.

He shinned up the crow’s nest to keep me safe
As I reached the top and gave me faith
To meet the challenge I’d set myself
For a sponsored climb of untold wealth
Did our splendid skipper Dave.

He taught us lots about life aboard,
Strapped us tight to the mast to prevent “Man overboard!”
As we surveyed the seas through 10 ft. waves,
In a force 8 gale……..more fun than a rave.
With our gallant skipper Dave.

Day 7 out of 12 we’ve survived so far
Seen porpoises from the boat hurrah !
Seen a huge rare jellyfish swimming by
Seen an old welly boot floating high
On the waves …….and skipper Dave !!!!!!
