A Sailors Lament.

 I am not one to quibble

About the cost of things.

If I like it, I buy it, 

To hell with the cost.

 

Foolish with my money,

And broke most of the time.

Me and a dollar rarely know each other.

Until it comes to making a payment

 

Let the winds of time carry me

To the lands of no return.

There I will be welcome

By all of the other broke sailors.

I didn't know you were a sailor, but being able to get on a ship and get away where creditors can find you sound like a wonderful ability to me.

I'm no sailor, but I am acquainted with a lack of fundage.
