Send out your big warships to watch your big waters
That no one may stop us from bringing you food.
For the bread that you eat and the bisquits you nibble
The sweets that you suck and the joints that you carve
They are all brought to you daily by all of us Big Steamers
And if anyone hinders our coming you'll starve.
From "Big Steamers", Rudyard Kipling
Not written for WW II or Merchant Navy Day but fitting nonetheless.
