Shanty

A Poem by Neville
"

if you can't taste the salt then I urge a swift re-fill

"

Shanty

 


 With anchors dropped and duly set, where ere we ever docked ..


Upon these salty seas of ours, seven heartbeats were truly felt ..

   

Weigh anchor when the deed is done, several other vessels shot ..

    

One in every port at least, say’s I, each fucked, to kingdom come ..

 

Come virgins, wives n mistresses, we cannot, leave half cocked ..

Neville
shanties or sea shanties are a big thing around my neck o the woods .. maybe not everyone's cuppa tea but part of our heritage .. & this is one I'm playing live later .. 🤍
