	For Team ITA_2011 - Relentlessly Chased and So Wanting Stealth Mode for their Boat The anguish of being a winner: You cannot take time out for dinner If you're well ahead You can't go to bed You're just bound to get thinner and thinner The attraction of going to stealth Is to help preserve some of your health Attacked through the night From all sides a fight They all want to take part in your wealth

	A Poet's Apologetic Eulogy There's just one thing that needs to be said As this poetic needle I thread When I'm dust and bone They'll write on my stone He was silent - except when ahead. I really wasn't a head. It just felt good there for a wail

	Another great one: 76Trombones 19:45: - The wind in the South is speed "howl" Yet we still discuss y as a vowel Funny symbols on keys Little hats on our 'E's Might it be time to throw in the towel? <<DO NOT USE FOR NAVIGATION>>

	Some context might be required for those... I logged on today following the most chat activity in days, talking about different keyboard layouts of all things. Then Rod and mjm got into Inuit syllabics, font sets and language = #2 Am always impressed by the quality of English as 2-3-8th language rhyming on SOL. That got me thinking about my Turkish skills (nothing doing). The Caribbean Creoles are great, and I'll claim that my grammar is just a feature of the dialect... The Rhyme with SOL was too good to pass up: Odinatè bato, anpil plezi Pa twòp volan, se konsa pou lwazi A new challenge on SOL Rhyme in Haitian Creole Panse ke petèt mwen tou dousman "crazy"

	By Rod: Rod 00:18: This applies more to NZ than here... The winds they blow so slowly I wish they did so more-ly The boat she wallow It's hard to swallow My tummy it feels so sore-ly

	On Procrastination Rod and 76Trombones Rod 02:09: A man who has time for limerinks Isn't working as hard as his boss thinks When he has time for SOL He isn't working at all He's just up for jokes and hi-jinks. 76Trombones 02:22: On the list of things to avoid: Having a boss of skills quite devoid. His employee is lazy They're increasingly crazy It's not easy being self-employed.

	... Some sailors cruise the Caribbean While others enjoy the Aegean Rock snow and ice, It's this man's paradise South Georgia's the place I'd be See'n ... Were we sailing these waters for real You'd discover my Achille's heel Forget about wins I'd go visit penguins And the South Georgian elephant seal ... Sambing found the Island of Beauchene A desolate albatross heaven Looked like plenty of room It's the fault of the zoom SOL needs vigilance 24-7
