John Masefield,
Evening - Regatta Day
(1918)
“ Your nose is a red jelly, your mouth's a toothless wreck, And I'm atop of you, banging your head upon the dirty deck; And both your eyes are bunged and blind like those of a mewling pup, For you're the juggins who caught the crab and lost the ship the Cup He caught a crab in the spurt home, this blushing cherub did, And the Craigie's Whaler slipped ahead like a cart-wheel on the skid, And beat us fair by a boat's nose though we sweated fit to start her, So we are playing at Nero now, and he's the Christian martyr. ”
