I found this via ask.com
"Three jolly sailors from Blaydon-on-Tyne
Went to sea in a bottle by Klein
Since the sea was entirely inside the hull
The scenery seen was extremely dull."
1963 Frederick Winsor (Science Fiction Mother Goose)

After the Ark had been at sea for a couple of days, Mrs. Noah came to her husband with a complaint.

"The water splashes in from the portholes whenever a big wave goes by," she reported. "Could you put in some windows?"

"Nope," Noah said sadly.

"Why not?" Mrs. Noah demanded. "The animals are growing alarmed, the cats especially."

"Installation would be a real pane in the ark," Noah explained.

It isn't ladies kissing gents that smiley - mistletoe will attract.

I don't mind kissing a smiley - diva as long as she isn't a smiley - pirate.
The only people who are likely to be on this ship are pirates, however.

This creates a dilemma.....
