Seaview Fever
by 
Pat. Cave
 
With apologies to John Masefield for ruining his ‘Sea Fever’
 
 
I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is an enormous submarine and an inertial navigator to steer her by,
And the Lobster Man and the Mummy’s curse and the giant robot’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the Admiral’s face, and a grey dawn breaking..
 
I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant submariner’s life,
With a flying sub and a diving bell and a Mona Lisa causing strife,
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-voyager
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
