There is one I always wondered about:

Bread Pie at morning
Sailor take warning.

Does this have to do with eating hard tacky for breakfast means that the food supplies are running low? parsy.

It's "Red sky in the morning, sailor takes warning. Red sky at night, sailor's delight." Weather systems in the Atlantic move from east to west; a red sky (the sun reflecting off clouds) in the morning indicated a weather front was moving toward you. A red sky at night (the evening) indicated the weather front was behind you.

I don't know. It may be. I wonder if they had an entire "Sailor's warnings" group of verses. The only one I knew about was the one that was about storms.
Red sky in morning,
Sailor take warning.
