A short narrative on nostalgia and sailing.

### La Mer

I do recall those days of yore,

Of wanton youths spent 'side the shore,

On islands never touched by war,

Those years are gone;

I wish for more.

We braved the bays of Yonder Yorn,

While singing that we shan't be shorn,

With eyepatches now long since worn,

Those years are gone;

And now I mourn.

As seasoned salts on ships of yare,

Long tales and drinks and nights we'd share,

Our glory never seemed to wear,

_Mais tu me manques :_

_Toi et la mer._
