askance, the sailor stood without sextant and celebate
couldn't dance the jig, now, could he?
such a sad cirmcumstance- no cause to celebrate
no shore leave to relieve him- who would believe him
led astray, to far far away so thoroughly betrayed
by estrellas absentia which lead the crew to peru
while the lighthouse they sought stood solidly on
France's Calais shore, near half a world away
