Summary
And you, dad, with rusty cut-water
hauling out of Liverpool
inside a riveted bucket of a thing,
what tickled your fancy down-under there
in the Roaring Forties?
What apple blossom made your bosun's eye
twinkle thinking of Hobart? Who was
the girl-in-port you hoarded like pay slips?
Are there any more not home like me?
