A PRAYER FOR JACKIE TAR

Do not think it very nice
To travel on a cake of ice
Except in Summer when it's hot;
But in the Winter, when it's not
And icy winds blow in my face
I like an open fireplace
Where I can watch the glowing flames
Or play upon the floor with games.
So let us say a fervent prayer
That Jackie Tar may land somewhere
Beyond the sweep of wind and storm
Where he may find it safe and warm.
