Like Razor Sharp Sword, Cutting Through Butter
Like razor sharp sword, cutting through butter.
Flows, American Coast Guard ice cutter.
Like razor sharp sword cutting through butter
Flows American Coast Guard ice cutter
In seas of ice, frozen hard as concrete
Its valiant crew accepting no defeats
Winds across glassy smooth ice does its dance
Ship and brave crew leaving nothing to chance
Watching as ice breaks, tumbles from its prow
Never fearful of Neptune's angry scowl
They work diligently around the clock
Far away, from safety of their home dock.
Like razor sharp sword, cutting through butter.
Flows, American Coast Guard ice cutter.
Beast, cutter rips through diamond hard ice
American made, prow designed to slice
Manned by courageous men, well trained and true
Born to sea duty, earning their just due
There to face coldest cold of freezing clime
Diligent in their ship's pride, all the time
Sworn to defend life, American shores
Face dangers, living life that never bores
As ice buckles and breaks in popping tune
Crew often longs for warmth of sunny June.
Like razor sharp sword, cutting through butter.
Flows, American Coast Guard ice cutter.

Rhyme, ( Dedicated To Brave American Coast Guard That Honorably Serves This Nation )
Note: I woke this morn and my muse said, boy go ahead and write.
I will give you help as you so often need it! Remember, without me
you'd still be barefoot gathering eggs for breakfast and slaving on
the damn farm. After a scowl and some thought, I saw some bit
of merit, some small bit of truth in that, her usual condemning tirade
and I began to compose. As usual she did finally give me two verses
and another enlightened admonishment that I was getting old, and
very, very lazy as well as a bit boring to her. With such immense help
and joyful cheering-- just how could I go wrong I ask !??
