Ah, the life at sea.

It is a fabulous life to live.

A life on a ship,

A life on a boat.

Just trust me,

I know.

-

But there are a few,

Quite a few, actually,

Things you need to know about this life,

This oh so wonderful life.

Just trust me,

I know.

-

For instance,

The sea itself looks so peaceful,

So calm you could almost jump right in,

But it is not.

You do not want to jump in it.

Just trust me,

I know.

-

And the ropes,

It seems so easy how the humans climb them,

Hauling themselves calmly upward,

But it is not.

You can’t climb a latter with a single leap.

Just trust me,

I know.

-

But being Captain’s Dog,

It just makes up for all that.

For even the Captain himself,

Treats me with love and adoration,

Enough fit for a king.

Just trust me,

I know.
