	Celebrating One's Own Birthday: Many a little will make up a mickle And your friend, Mouthansar, is now double nickle. Though still going strong As he has for so long His visage now ressembles a pickle.

	There was an old sailor called Mouth, Whose verses were usually 'couth', He laid out a course, Hit an island--"Off Course", And had to stay there for a Month. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	I heard of this sailor named Rod Who raced with the whales in a pod Tho' his courses were keen He was struck by the spleen When the gray whales thought he was a cod.

	Fortunately whales eat but krill, It fills up their bellies---but still They won't eat a cod, And so not a Rod, So for 'that' I will send you a bill! If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Oh, by all means send me the bill With a man with a license to kill For because of your chivalry There'll be Cash On Deliv'ry And this bard will silence his gill.

	We sing and we dance and we play If we try we could do it all day, But we still get the 'hook'' We sing from wrong book, We only do what we may. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	After watching yet another chat-bout with the computer between Stoerte and his cat, I couldn't resist! Ode to Stoerte's Feline While Stoerte sails well on the seas His cat is the maestro of keys He now watches his headings And his counterpart’s sheddings They both make it seem such a breeze

	Ode To Texel The Texel race with waves so steep Broken boats, bruised egos and wandering sheep We round and round to better our times But all that’s left are a few lonesome rhymes.

	On Meeting Friendly Pirates I know this brave sailor named Shamrock Who rounded his marks on a damn clock He is always ahead And never in bed And his rhymes are unlocking my liplock
