<takes deep breath> Once upon a time you cruised far and wide You took the lock flights in your stride, didn't you? People'd call, say, slow down, your water skier's bound to fall You thought they were all kiddin' you You used to laugh without stopping At everybody that was bridge-hopping But now you don't boat so far Now you travel more in your car And you stay in your marina until the next year... How does it feel How does it feel To be on the brink Like a frozen mink Like a skating rink? You've gone to the finest chandlery stores, you said, And the only kind of diesel you used was red And nobody has ever caught you moored over your time And now you find out you're hardly ever untying your line You said you'd never submit Join the marina camp, but now you admit You're no longer staying fit As you stare into the depths of the ice In a frozen marina you've been in all year... How does it feel How does it feel To be on the brink Like a frozen mink Like a skating rink? -- Martin Clark Internet Boaters' Database http://www.lock13.co.uk/boats Pennine Waterways Website http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk
