Hoist me a pint of ale in the old boat house;
\nSeek shelter from gust and gale in the old boat house.<\/p>\n
Wield me a poem, you bardic Procol Harum:
\nTurn a whiter shade of pale in the old boat house!<\/p>\n
Breezes of Laugharne, perpetually fresh!
\nNothing ever goes stale in the old boat house!<\/p>\n
Jonah me, Moby me, humpbacked and blubbered:
\nSpend three days in the whale of the old boat house!<\/p>\n
Come to the confines of your monastic keep:
\nLock yourself in the jail of the old boat house!<\/p>\n
Message me in a bottle, lyric lord of Wales:
\nI’ll send my fan mail to the old boat house.<\/p>\n
Let druids rise up from their moss-grown graves
\nAnd bless each rusty nail of the old boat house!<\/p>\n
Heron and cormorant, he-gull and she-gull
\nSoar and wade and sail past the old boat house.<\/p>\n
I praise your psalm-shed, beer-brawny word-worker:
\nHosanna, hurrah, and hail to the old boat house!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
