The best is an evening mackerel breeze:

A-sailing and trailing away.

“A mackerel is a sailor-dish,”

Said Jones, “for ’tis a sailor fish,

All drest, like us, in white and blue,

Which I do call the prettiest hue

Which the great heaven has to show

Of all the colours in the bow:

So, if you please, I’ll sing to you

A little song about the Blue!”
