[Continued from next page]
We have just been out on deck
Watching manly couples peck
At each other with a pillow
Swaying with each stormy billow

We are glad to be at last
Midst our own compatriots east
Cuspidors & toothpicks banished
Bossy, saggy trousers vanished.

We have not been asked our age
Second name or hopes of marriage
Haven't even had our steward
Ask if seasickness is cured

Captain Phillips is so jolly
Tales part in all youthful folly
Such as cricket on the deck

Poor old Nelson H. Duval
Pronounce it so's to rhyme with "call"
Accompanied by James B. Haney
Saw us off, altho' 'twas rainy.

Nelson H. sent P some roses
In what capacity he poses
Is evident in little ways
He called 5 times in 7 days
