From your pretty maiden voyage to your terminal trip
And when the water's within, and the salt has you licked

Whether evenest of keel or beginning to tip
Not the fastest car or swiftest plane can match your motion
As you cross, as only ships can, cross the deepest ocean

Be proud to be a vessel seen from Skye to Norfolk
Unless you're one of those whose transport body dysmorphic
