SHIP HIGH IN TRANSIT
Manure was carried by sea my friend, many years ago,
Mostly dried and stowed in sacks in the hold below,
Often times in those days the ships did spring a leak,
Wetting fertiliser and causing such a reek.
Then began a problem - for it turned to methane gas
A single spark or candle flame, and up she went - alas,
Lessons then were learnt - so the stuff was stowed up high
Crucial now, important, to keep the cargo dry.
Marked upon the manifest and on the bags were writ,
`Ship High In Transit` - true origin my friend,
Of the word we know as ****
