In my room I kept a book,
hard bound and very old.
Inside it each yellowed page
bore a title of its own:

The Spanish Bowline
Cat’s Paw
Carrick Bend
Dead Eye Cutter
Double Strop
Rolling Hitch
Sheepshank
Sheet Bend
Flemish Eye
Marling Spike Hitch
Turk’s Head
Clove Hitch
Spirit Sail Sheet
Studding Sail Halyard

All things I would need to know
before setting off on my first voyage.
