	While on the Cape Town to Auckland race, this came to mind It’s common whenever I race My life goes to heck trés post haste All the wife does is roar “Go back to your chores” So I just hide my screen and play chaste

	I liked the 'chased'.....I understand...….. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	On seeing Bonknhoot's threat to my third place in the Newport Timed Race 2020 Brother Bonk is a jolly, old geezer Who's determined to sail like a Ceasar I'm beginning to think My result may well sink Who needs podiums with friends such as these, huh? --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2020-06-11 16:42:29 ---

	Some recent rhymes... On Bimmer's win. Oh, Bimski, Bimling, Bimmer, By Thor, you'll be our winner. Not east, you said, look'd best No, Odin, said you, said West And you'll be home for dinner. On FastFlo's return (and cheese and beer). Kediss Fastflo, wederziend aangenaam Dutch cheese is barely worth a damn Compared to the monastic Belgian brew That knocks you out, before the loo Is got to. On Dingo's driving. Wǒ bù zhīdào zěnme xǐ, John Hurry up, or El'll be gone At a tighter Tee Wee Hay As the Chinese just might say. Gone direction rising sun. Clipping along

	The "greek blue wall song" to seduce Triton and the wx gods to bring you better winds. Tried it in Naples Triangle and ended up being parked at 0.3 kts for 5 hours. So, singer beware! --- If we had a trireme, we would be doing 2 knots. If we had a trireme, the other boats would go nuts. (percussion) If we had a trireme, we wouldn't be stuck. If we had a trireme, we wouldn't look like a duck. (percussion) If we had a trireme, we could be sipping Greek wine. If we had a trireme, those winds would be fine. (percussion) If we had a trireme, we wouldn't count miles. If we had a trireme, we would be all smiles. Lalala lalala... La lala la.

	Zorba the iconoclast Unique routes, always fast. So South he goes, from Christmas Isle To sail the Bight in typical style, N’er to BBQ, for his repast, Does Zorba, the iconoclast.

	A warning to our Old Poets Society critics. (in the form of a 'Tipperary') SOL's poets for posterity Write rhymes with great sincerity, And though their muse may seem obtuse With purpose simply to amuse, Mockers will be dealt with… with great severity! --- Last Edited by Jan van der Puil at 2022-01-27 10:43:03 --- Clipping along
