Sea Shanty

'Dignity';
Docked in Torquay bay.
Id visit each summer,
With my '99 Flake.

Crisp cotton sails,
Brass bolts and rails.
She glided,
Pride's own paradigm.

I saved and sold my soul.
A rowboat of my own.
The one man dingy 'Self-respect',
I paddled from the shore.

Capsizing on the choppy waves,
I'd never learned to sail.
Storm booming round the harbour rocks;
"Old man you never will!"
