The h2g2 Poem
Created | Updated Jun 25, 2003
Hallo Sailor
She likes the services; in her time
She's been to Norfolk, Biggin Hill, Dover and Hendon
Known a pilot, a sergeant, a customs man and a policeman
(Not necessarily in that order)
But her main predilection is the sea
And those who serve her.
Back and forth to Portsmouth
More times than she cares to remember.
To the Merchant and Royal Navies
She'll come for commerce or
Her Majesty's pleasure..
Then it's back to London
To sit primly behind her desk
Feeling like a home
For discharged seamen.
