Celebrate - Rhyme-time on the SSB Net



Today was “RHYME-TIME” and the radio-net assignment was to report in with a rhyme. I received the terrific entries below via email and also received wonderful on-the-spot rhyming reports from: Adela, Ghost, Polaris, and Sweet Pearl.



*****FROM Merlyn of Poole

There once was an Oyster called 'Merlyn'

But not the sort having a pearl in,

She had a great day

Been sailing away

Main fully out no need for furlin'



*****FROM American Spirit II

An Ode to the Southern Ocean



Davie Jones has nothing on me,

Because we are where we should be,

Sailing over the ocean,

With a nice gentle motion.



As we continue to sail,

There is no need to bale,

As we've missed that giant sperm whale.



While other boats make the mad dash,

American Spirit II is content to watch another green flash.



*****FROM Folie a Deux

caught and released a small female mahi,

to feed a future world ARC rally. [pronounced raliegh.]

then pulled down our pink underpants sail,

and replaced wth our stronger 'red threat',

in preparation for the heavier wind we hope we will get!



roses are red,

violets are blue,

all is well,

aboard follie a deux



for the french purist folks perhaps blue should be pronounced blah



*****FROM Celebrate



Today, in the Southern Atlantic

Celebrate had no cause for panic

With a radio-show antic

and poems pedantic

and the waves which were far from gigantic



We fixed up our leaking fresh-water

though the tank went down to one quarter

We sopped up the floor

and made up some more

And continued across the Atlantic
