For Elle,
If thou have but 2 401K's,
Sell one
And with thy dole
Buy a Rhodes for thy soul

Alan:
John Mansfield, I believe. How's this for a close?
And tiller's kick, and the furling jibAnd the comfortable cockpit, all
making--A vigorous sail where I won't need to bailAnd no sailor's asses are
aching.

"I must go down to the sea again,
To the wild sea and sky.
And all I ask, is a new Rhodes
and a chart to steer it by."
OK you two, Joe and Matthew LIT. SCHOLARS. Finish the parody. If you need
the original poem and reference, let me know please.

Ben:
"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T S Eliot. Lots of imagery and
symbolism and very complex in his references. There is a pay-off (after
about sixty readings).

Elle is right. This list does indeed need some culture. I've never even
heard of Prufrock, but I'll have to look it up; I love the line quoted.
How about a haiku?
Accidental jibe
That gently? Hard to believe
Exceptional sloop

*I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.*
Alas poor Mary and her lamb
They've fallen in, oh crap oh damn
Tis shame they cannot swim like toads
Or better yet sail like a Rhodes.

Isn't the end of *Prufrock *about the Rhodes 22?
*I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
