Sea Shanty Title: The Splendid Tale of Old Man John
Prompt:
My friend, our days are long and strained
yes they are (yes they are)
But such were those of Old Man John
Old Man John?
Yes, Old Man John- the finest fellow fat and long
fat and long that Old Man John
sailed far and wide and sang no song
that Old Man John, he sang no song?
Yes, no song for him, that Old Man John
No song to get him through his days
No song to get him through the waves
and waves of gold did soon he sway?
waves and waves of gold doubloons
but did he find his fortune soon?
Nay, 'twas not the way of Old Man John
He toiled?
Yes
He sickened?
Yes
his breakfast never thickened?
Never
Then how'd he find his fortune nigh?
He toiled
Yes?
and spoiled
Yes?
He'd never whine or moan
never?
He did 'is ship a service that Old Man John
A service indeed, I'm sure they decreed
a service indeed and yes they decreed
for his service finely paid?
Always
Then one day we shall earn our fare
Earn our fare we surely will
and off this boat to freedom high!
To the mops!
To the crows nest!
A fortune soon will give us rest
