"A SEA DIRGE"
From PHANTASMAGORIA & OTHER POEMS
By Lewis Carroll, Drawing by Arthur B. Frost. Pub. MacMillian & Co Limited, London 1911
THERE are certain things - as, a spider, a ghost,
The income-tax, gout, an umbrella for three -
That I hate, but the thing that I hate the most
Is a thing they call the Sea.
Pour some salt water over the floor -
Ugly I`m sure you`ll allow it to be:
Suppose it extended a mile or more,
That’s very like the Sea.
Beat a dog till it howls outright -
Cruel, but all very well for a spree:
Suppose that he did so day and night,
That would be like the Sea.
I had a vision of nursery-maids;
Tens of thousands passed by me -
All leading children with wooden spades,
And this was by the Sea.
Who invented those spades of wood?
Who was it cut them out of the tree?
None, I think, but an idiot could -
Or one that loved the Sea.
It is pleasant and dreamy, no doubt, to float
With `thoughts as boundless, and souls as free`:
But, suppose you are very unwell in the boat,
How do you like the Sea?
There is an insect that people avoid
(Whence is derived the verb `to flee`).
Where have you been by it most annoyed?
In lodgings by the Sea.
If you like your coffee with sand for dregs,
A decided hint of salt in your tea,
And a fishy taste in the very eggs -
By all means choose the Sea.
And if, with these dainties to drink and eat,
You prefer not a vestige of grass or tree,
And a chronic state of wet in your feet,
Then - I recommend the Sea.
For I have friends who dwell by the coast -
Pleasant friends they are to me!
It is when I am with them I wonder most
That anyone likes the Sea.
They take me a walk: though tired and stiff,
To climb the heights I madly agree;
And, after a tumble or so from the cliff,
They kindly suggest the Sea.
I try the rocks, and I think it cool
That they laugh with such an excess of glee,
As I heavily slip into every pool
That skirts the cold cold Sea.
No power in the 'verse can stop me

The place Homer sued, Barnicle Bob's, prompting Lionel Hutz attorney-at-law to point at Homer and ask the jury,
"Does this look like a man who's had all he could eat?"
Phil Hartman RIP.

Actually, the place Homer sued was The Frying Dutchman, owned by one Captain McAllister (who's called simply "The Sea Captain" in most episodes).
Where would I be if it weren't for Simpsons nitpicking? Well, I wouldn't have this post, for one thing.
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |

I'm the Pirate King of the Baltic Run and nobody fucks with me.
And those who've tried are bones and skulls and lie beneath the sea,
Where the little fish like messengers swim in and out their eyes,
Singing: "Fuck ye not with the Pirate King and his Desperate Enterprise!"

Accountancy Shanty
It’s fun to charter an accountant
And sail the wide accountancy
To find, explore, the funds offshore
And skirt the shores of bankruptcy
It can be manly in insurance
We’ll up your premium semi-annually
It’s all tax-deductible
We’re fairly incorruptible
We’re sailing on the wide accountancy!
Fiddle away and balance the books
Fiddle away and balance the books
We are the studio accountants
We used computers and the fax
We make them pay every way
And then we'll write it off for tax
Creative agents cannot touch us
And lawyer's are a joke, dear, let's be frank
They'll never ever screw us dear
Let the bastards sue us
We're laughing all the way clear to the bank
Scribble away and balance the books
Scribble away and balance the books
Oh, and not forgetting the Pistol's Friggin' In The Riggin'!! |
