The sea never asks farfetched questions,
Seeks no clever answers from you,
Couldn’t care less why you’re on it,
Or who you are, where you go, what you do.
But it offers a sound education,
Somewhat different to the teachings on land.
Harsh lessons, extreme and exacting,
But get through them and you’ll understand
That respect for deep waters, and common sense,
Could turn bad luck at sea into good.
But too bold, too reckless, like twins out for a fight,
And you'll lose; all outranked fighters would.
