Who toil
Throwing out lines jammed
With flotsam and jetsam
Day-after-day making their craft
Trim, secure and lasting,
Ending up perfect
Shipwrecks that won’t go away.
Moderator’s comments: I can think of no better example of the time-tested, found to be sound conceit “sink or swim” than this sparkling pearl of wisdom fished out of the murky poetic waters by our trusty trawling seafarer and sounding board, Huuklyeand Cinquor. And to think that his too, too long absence had me seriously considering abandoning all hope of ever hearing from him again.
I was feeling the same way about him.

For auld langsyne, why don't we throw him a line laced with strychnine?
