Excerpt from On Patrol
Hey watch us leaving harbour for the greatest game of all, And wonder if we're coming back across the greedy sea; They never know the fighting thrill or high adven ture's call I rather think the women folk are better men than we. But I suspect they say of us as out to sea we go, In all our panoply of pride from Orkney to the Nore: It keeps them quiet, we suppose - they like the work, we know And soon perhaps they'll tire and play some.
