Salty Dog Dream

Chesterfield

There’s an old salty seaman

at the back of a ship

that’s sinking into the sea

I can hear the words

from his stiff upper lip

as he sadly recites to me

You can’t save me

You can’t save me

So, turn your eyes away

I will sleep

In the cold, dark deep

and you’ll see another day

    This brought to mind Longfellow's great poem, "The Wreck of the Hesperus." I like a good seafaring poem. I enjoyed the read.
