The VNC.

[Captain Kong]

I awoke at three o`clock this morning with these words in my head so I got up and wrote them down.

The VNC

I am just a lonely Sailor
in a lonesome dockside Bar.
My ship has sailed without me
and I just dont know how far.
The Bar Girl said she loved me
but has taken all my dough
and I am just a lonely Sailor
who`s got no place to go.

[Doc Vernon]

Pretty nifty for an early call Capt!
Nice one !
You must have been dreaming of those far off Sea Days mate!
Cheers

[Chris Allman]

Nice to see you still on articles Capt, by the way Santos sends his regards.

[Tony Wilding]

Hi, that is brilliant, so true also !:d

[Neil Morton]

Spoken from the heart Captain, methinks we have both been there !!

[Keith at Tregenna]

Reading yours could not get the following out of my head, pos many could add a verse to make an epic? Not attempting to steal your thoughts but inspired.

K.

He was an MN sailor
he had travelled wide and far
another ship lost to the enemy
is why you find him at this bar
soon to join another one
though mindful of the foe
took some solace with the bar girl
but back to sea would go.

[Dennis McGuckin]

Thanks Capt,
Thats exactly what happened to me in Santos.
Den.

[Toby Slater]

That could have been written for me! Exactly how my career in the MN ended!

I chickened out.

Twas a Sunday night in Sydney.At ,The George St. R.S.LThe Company was excellent."I'm on a sure thing"
This''ll do me ,for the good life and she doesn't wear a ring.
So it's on the Dance Floor ,then the Bar.A Schooner ,two or three. That's when i made my mind up.Fair DINKUM! Aussie Me! . The Ship's at Circular Quay, next day, Bound . for Kwii and U.K.

I woke next morning,early,the sun was shining through.I whispered to my companion ,"I'm sorry.i must go..
It's time ,(to hit the toe)
like Mc Arthur .I'll return.We'll meet another day'.I.m always
to and from.

" No Worries! Cobber ,You shoot through. Go to Aussie house, and become, A Ten pound Pom.
