Ships

“Now you ask “What’s this romantic boy
Who laments what’s done and gone?”
There was no romance on a cold winter ocean and the gale sang an awful song

– Lyric from Fisherman’s Wharf by Stan Rogers

This lyric conjures a laugh about an Art World Chorus I’ve heard chanting “painting is done and gone” … and I confess to singing Sea Shanties and painting pictures of ships.
