Oh Sheet!  (Main, that is)

I had a little mainsheet,
I d'know where it goes,
It does a lot of funny things.
Exactly what? Who knows.

I run it thru a lot of Blocks
And other stuff, I guess,
Back and forth and in and out
It's such a tangled mess.

Will it go thru a Fiddle Block ?
Is there a cleat someplace?
How to keep it from twisting 'round?
Will it help me win the race?

N' I'm so strong with muscles big
Use Winch ? Oh no not me,
I jerk and pull that fuzzy rope,
I haven't an idea why, you see?

But,I know for sure, there is no doubt,
It's always a topic that's Hot,
On all the sailing email lists there are,
Whether it's really important or Not !
