My fourth attempt at Josie's challenge

Bobby Shaftoe’s gone to sea

All that sailing made him heave
He threw up all over me

That dirty little scoundrel

Another gross one! I find that when a woman becomes a mother, poo and vomit become a mundane part of life, and we become completely shameless about discussing such organic matters.  
 
You guys have turned it into an exquisite form of art!

Oh! 
 
Yo! Ho! 
 
Keep 'em coming, Kellie! 
 
This is such fun, eh? 
 
And if you want to get seriously serious, have a look at Josie's previous stuff, and try a longer one with rhyme and meter to match . . .  
 
Quite tricky, but worth a go !  
 
Looking forward to more . . .  
 
Cheers!

Yes, well done Kellie. It's great fun isn't it? I'm afraid that the sea has the same effect on me. In fact, when I "emigrated" to Canada in the 1960s, I ended up in the hospital ward for not even the injections had any effect. Decided it's better to stay in the Yorkshire Dales nowadays.
