The frantic necessity
to keep plugging leaks
commands most of our energies
aboard this ricketty old Ark .
However, occasional calm waters
afford us space to reflect
on the funny side of our confinement.
Catching a glimpse at ourselves
in this enforced training regime
has the surprising effect
of raising chuckles of shared mirth.
Not for the faint hearted, though,
is our manual of fitness.
Practice these exercises at your peril.
Be mindful of the crew of the Marie Celeste.
Not all may survive to laugh at their fate.
If you have any up-to-date tips
to improve our technique
or can recommend charts plotting milder currents,
feel free to shout it out here into the ether
