A Different Kind of Ocean (March 7, 2022)

We’d float a rub-a-dub ducky, when we went with Leif the Lucky — we sailed a different kind of ocean back then

You’d be Rolf, and I’d be Orm, and we’d cruise right through the storm

But we sailed a different kind of ocean back then

On our porch we’d row our ship as we embarked on a new trip

But we sailed a different kind of ocean back then

I made my sword, you made my shield, to the foe we’d never yield

But we sailed a different kind of ocean back then

Turning on the tube screen….finding the channels in between….

Always looking for the Vikings adventurous schemes

Reading books about warfare, when I hurt you we’d both swear

And we sailed by the sun and the stars even in our kid dreams

Our rope-a-dope rhymes, served in light-hearted times - but we sail a different kind of ocean these days

We both grew up, then we grew old, our real lives were not so bold

And we sail a different kind of ocean these days.

Now at our flat screens we stare, the adventure isn’t there

And we sail a different kind of ocean these days

Our computers are no match for the kinds of games we’d hatch

And we sail a different kind of ocean these days

We flew to Iceland together…laughed in the face of the weather

I’d go back in a heartbeat with you without even a doubt

Hand my credit card over, and we’ll be back in the clover

Keep our drinking horns filled, and “skol!” we will shout… (Repeat first verse; fini)
