Rudyard Kipling - The North Sea PatrolRudyard Kipling - The North Sea Patrol
Work rating: Low


Where the East wind is brewed fresh and fresh every morning,   And the balmy night-breezes blow straight from the Pole, I heard a Destroyer sing: "What an enjoya-   ble life does one lead on the North Sea Patrol! "To blow things to bits is our business (and Fritz`s),   Which means there are mine-fields wherever you stroll. Unless you`ve particular wish to die quick, you`ll a-   void steering close to the North Sea Patrol. "We warn from disaster the mercantile master   Who takes in high Dudgeon our life-saving role, For every one`s grousing at Docking and Dowsing   The marks and the lights on the North Sea Patrol." So swept but surviving, half drowned but still driving   I watched her head out through the swell off the shoal, And I heard her propellers roar- "Write to poor fellers   Who run such a Hell as the North Sea Patrol!"
