[Peter Libra]

Highly interesting for almost everyone. A little bit of verse cannot do any harm- seems very apt.

" Yarnder lumes the island, Yarnder lies the ships,
Wi the sailor lads a-dancing heel-an-toe.
An the shore lights flashing' an the night tide dashin'
He see it arl so plainly as he saw et long ago."

Titled "Drakes Drum"
Sir Henry Newbolt (1862-1938).

Capten,art tha sleeping there below.?

Anyway..... good luck in your venture lads!

[Billthedrill]

"Take my drum to England, hang et by the shore,
Strike et when your powder's runnin' low;
If the Dons sight Devon, I'll quit the port o' Heaven,
An' drum them up the Channel as we drumm'd them long ago."

Ghosts walked on Plymouth shores when the Germans threatened the Channel. One of my favorite poems. BTT.
