CAROLINA FEVER

Most of these pics in my section will be more about my
"vacation" than about the "Roast" since I witnessed it
from a perch on the couch with Tom and Ernie and we were
EATING! (Mom always finds the food!) We watched the girls
laugh and cry and ooooooooooooooh and aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
I can assure everyone that they were overwhelmed and overjoyed!
Sea Fever by John Masefield
I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking.
Looking out across the water from the dock.
|
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
All I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the seagulls crying.
The Fever
|
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trip's over.
Unloading the Fever with Tom assisting.
