Sing haughty yacht-y yea

bayboats purse seine whey
journey yearlong gay
laddie inured dry up
haughty yachty yea

mildred mayhem dewlap
naughty jaunty jay
sons caught in car capers
haughty yachty yea

vicar baking in butterfat
orphan boy screwed in larder
bluejay frollic jane
and a haughty yachty yea

bombs in bay bombard
dickson singsick cockpit
french chicks s’envoient en l'air*
oh a haughty yachty yea

idols jailed in temples
choked in garlandy incense
priestly eyedance pose
yes a haughty yachty yea

masons’ mildewy masters
with compass stone and pilasters
plan solomon’s might on earth
yea sing haughty yachty yea

royal houses love in stables
lords and ladies love in regalia
loving ones love in limbo
cry haughty yachty yea

dote on damsels in december
hey yachty haughty yea
make them deliver in september
ho yickety yackety yea eh

* "s'envoient en l'air": French, literally, for "throwing up legs in the air"; guess what this means in France.

Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on September 26, 2020
The Can-Can? What you have written sounds like a wonderful cheering song for the yachting class. Or at least those that have a boat on the Seine. Doing more than just floating silently by, but singing their hearts out like London boys on the Thames.

A magnificent use of words that brought up many thoughts as I read.

Ron
