	Great, Jepsom. ... And I did see the wx for Sweden. Our snow is only just blowing in right now. Here's another one. Cook Strait Jacket There's a low blowing in from the West And it's putting the fleet to a test All chatting has ceased Who's losing the least is the sailor who read it the best

	New Masterpieces from 76Trombones I, from my perch near the windward shroud Watch my sails auto-reef think aloud: "Here no matter how big the squall It's no effort at all! IRL my drive'd be already plowed" A old salt dips hardtack in his chowder Dreams of SOL as a place very much louder A broadside or two Would help with FlowsToo Lunch'd smell good with a hint of black powder! --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2011-02-12 10:35:29 ---

	On Feeling Solo in SOL - Wherein a Famous sailor is Named Trombones made a poem 10:30 Not even the least bit of dirty Since then chat has died All tongues are as tied Is poetry simply too nerdy? Subsequent edit: Not Alone - Just Disturbing Concentration Flaxie 21:37: Mouthansar, poetry in motion Across the Southern Ocean Please, We recognise you as the bard But you should realise we are sailing hard To reach the Antipodes --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2011-02-12 21:56:14 ---
