The Glen Tarsan - Another Poem from our guests

The Glen Tarsan

To the tune of Wild Rover

We joined the Glen Tarsan

with hil-ar-i-tee

and began our adventure

at Port-a-vad- dee

And It’s no nay never

No nay never no more

I will play the wild rover

no never no more

The bosun named David

Is considerate and Kind

Not once has he left anybody behind.

And it’s no nay…..

Ian the quiet one

Makes tricky decisions

Grounding the tender with style and precision.

And it’s no nay……

Gary the Chef,

So dark and good looking

Tempts all with his wonderful cooking.

And it’s no nay……

Taff is the Skipper so tall and so brave

With tales of his past life

He keeps us amazed!

And it’s no nay……

We joined the Glen Tarsan

With such trepidation

We leave on the morrow

With much adoration

And it’s no nay……..
