New Boat 4 Sled

[sleddog]

It is pleasant to paddle the ocean
With ocean galore within reach,
And nothing at all to be done:
No letters to answer,
No bills to be burned,
No work to be shirked,
No cash to be earned,
It is pleasant to sit in my boat
With nothing to do but to float.
How pleasant to look at the ocean,
Democratic and damp; indiscriminate;
It fills me with noble emotion
To think I am able to swim in it.
To lave in the wave,
Majestic and chilly,
Tomorrow I crave;
But today it is silly.
It is pleasant to paddle the ocean;
Tomorrow, perhaps, I shall swim in it.

Living on the sea my friends
Is gonna keep you free and clean.
But for now we wear our rubber boots
With breath as hard as kerosene.
Where we'll get the bread to go
Ain't nobody knows.

HAULBACK was a pirate ship
Jim's hull as fast as polished steel.
Her captain sailed 'round the World
And lassoed logs for his next meal.
Soon we'll meet the fleet you know
On the docks of Richmond Club.

Our loves may cry when we say goodbye
And sail into our dreams.
But all the Race Committee will say
"They'll be there any day"
To gather 'round the Tree.

And GREEN BUFFALO sails the blue
All day long like she's built to.
And SIREN surfs in BUFFALO's wake
With SOLSTICE close in classic duel.

The history books tell of the General's trips,
And kite's are flying from the CARROL E.
But Hanalei's quiet til' they round the Point
Then dogs a barking at the Hula Tree.

And all the Race Committee say:
"Soon they'll be coming any day"
With slack key strummin' in the sunset breeze.
