‘The Secure Seaman’

When I was a carpenter
All I saw was saw

Now, I am a sailor
All I see is sea

Today,
The wind was strong and I lost my sail
And I am all at loss
The ship sank and I am hanging to a plank
I am all at sea

But in this time of unease
Imagining good times is easy
So once I get to the shore
I can always fiddle with the fiddle
They say fiddlers are in demand and busy

With such future security
Do I need to worry about my present?
Something tells me I should
I think I should look sad now
‘Cause this plank has holes in it
And I have no energy left to swim!
