Day 86 at sea on the eve of arrival to Honolulu

Day 86 at sea, the day before Honolulu.

ODE TO THE ROWING MACHINE

SO AFTER LEAVING DOVER IT BROKE

AND TO THE MANAGER WE SPOKE

          DON'T WORRY HE SAID

          WE'VE PARTS UP AHEAD

AND SOON YOU'LL BE BACK IN YOUR STROKE

 

ON THROUGH THE CANAL WE THEN WENT

THE MACHINE STILL IDLE AND BENT

          IT'S OK THEY SAY

          THERE'S PARTS IN L.A.

TO MANAGEMENT YOUR SPLEEN YOU CAN VENT

 

NOW IT'S ONTO THE LAST LEG WE GO

THE MACHINE'S STILL BROKEN, AND SO

          WE SHOULD GO DOWN THE BACK

          TAKE AN OAR FROM THE RACK

AND MAYBE THE DAWN PRINCESS WE'LL ROW!
