ANCHOR IN THE NIGHT

 

Halyards slapping masts

inky water lapping  

Night birds screech

Hunker down for warmth

 

Dream the golden isle

Where life is warm and sweet

A jerking on our anchor rode

Alert danger mode

 

Ship passing in the night

Pull covers around ears

Sleep as the marina slumbers

Safe leave gate in dreams

 

Fog horn a distant moan

A diesel chugs alone

Radar distant warning

All`s well we have atoned

SHINGLE WEAVER

 

Leather belts whistle moving

Logs in unison through the weavers

Pins and the pin boy lurches

Pins they shout and the spindles spin

 

Pins ! Again the pin boy grabs for

The moving target

Pins ! ! Staggering under his load

A finger lost blood spurting red

 

Pins !  Again no stoppage the day will be

A winner the nine finger Weaver will

A bonus get and the pin setter gets to breath

Pins ! ! !

 

A group of nine finger weaver and some less

Cursing the pin setter.  Pins !

Today if we lose the rest no matter

Pins !
