They called us peg-leg, Greg.

Dutiful dullards;
technicolor nobodies spoke
in silent sadness.

Wordless wonders waved
at fat farmers from afar,
the thoughtless thought thin.

Aft daftness prevailed
behind Van Diemen's children
who wandered from home.

Captain called "Oi! Man
Overboard!" Over boredom
were weak weekenders.

Now, knew those dullards,
whom soon darkened depths despised,
how land-lurkers lived.
