by Robert E. Howard

The helmsman gaily, rode down the rickerboo,

Smiling at skirted girls, pink-cheeked

And freckled.

Come roam the Ocean Isles, while over sea flying.

While o’er the sea-gulls, whirling and braying;

Follow the crocodiles over to Iceland.

Yo-ho! And a bottle of strawberry soda!
