This is for the eyes of Killick!

Bumper Crop Expected

Lube and acto in the tank,
Pulled the engine cover back,
Looked in the oil tank,
To see no water was in the gas,
Down in the bottom,
Then I screwed the stopper on.

Gunneyed under the engine house
Made sure the gas valve is not turned across.

Hard grease cups are filled up
Screwed down hard with the felt hat used for straining the acto.

Used the piggin' to bail water from the bilge,
... she's up to the battery box,
The stuffin' box must be leakin'
... or some ookum must be out of the garboard,
... got the be,
Since the water is clear where I'm dippin'.

Points viled and set,
Nuts bar tight on the igniter bolts -- not stripped.
Checked the coil and sparked her on the firing clicker.

Let go from the grump on the warfhead,
Hauled in the killick,
and stowed the rode away in the after-room.

Took the baking soda can from the exhaust pipe.

Sucked the gas in the carberator with three fingers,
Hauled the brass handle out of the fly wheel of the Four Atlantic
and hove her up all at the same time.
She caught on the the first sollie,
She's making some smoke,
Opened her out.

She's gettin' her water.

Hove the tiller across,
and straightened her out for the Naked Man,
Up there near the end of Swile Island.
I takin' her to Wickie's Spot,
About thirty five fathoms on the marks,
Billy Moss's House and Sandy Cove Head open,
With Little Denier breaking open with Hammer Head.

... I hope I'm lucky!
