	In the Imminent Vicinity of African Fauna By 76Trombones A splendid battle we've fought, and I Happily leave you this thought: am I As fast as the West? Nay, but the real test Is who'll maybe see Hippopotami! ... and your humble bard I am happily singing a tune To myself and "the stars" and the moon With Africa close When I turn my nose In Dakar there'll be one more baboon --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2011-03-20 13:32:09 ---

	MayDay on Channel 16 (from chat) ayke 10:09: help! i feel like the flying dutchman, doomed forever to be in this HUGE!! windhole, this dolldrumstuff.... :~(( I really feel sorry for Ayke Who was heard here in chat with a "Crikey!" Far from reaching the goal She's adrift in a hole That must take such a toll on her psyche There Be Dragons There's a line in the sea to Gibraltar It's as sacred as any old altar No one dares to come near "There be dragons out here!" Best avoid it or else you will falter!" --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2011-03-21 10:26:17 ---

	There once was a humble dane called Mouthansar starting from Cape Horn East The longer the race went on, it turned out he really was a determined Beast The persevering man held the lead throughout the Race The difficult weather along africas coast was almost like a Mace Let´s hope it will be the humble beast who in Gibraltar will arrive first and start the Feast!

	To Dunbur Ode to a Winner - Cape Horn to Gibraltar Inexplicably absent from chat And the daily a-tit-for-a-tat Is race-ace Dunbur Who will now incur All our praise and the red carpet mat. Dunbur's routing seemed outright outrageous And certainly not advantageous To some sailors' chagrin He proceeded to win He was right - and he was courageous. --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2011-05-14 19:05:34 ---

	Ode To AGage's Computer Work As we race the Pacific with whales We do so with colour, in scales The reds are much breezier The nights are much easier I have no excuses to fail!

	The trouble with SOLers Is the inadequate polars Forty knots in five knot winds Would please all their lecherous minds And put them ahead of all-us If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	For "Virtually" particular SOLers The light is like watery callers We swim to the red Before going to bed And hope that we chose the right polars If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	CAPE BLANCO East or West? - Which is best? East to San Francisco Or stay West, Al Fresco '76 is watching Cricket His little school do not partake Not Whales but catches is all there is to take Captjack is punching 'thru While Agage says blue is goo So many Skippers but no crew Infact, the only clue is stay out of the blue --- Last Edited by Sebensa at 2011-04-30 08:05:44 ---
