Clipper Toast

Antiope's trip is now over At least all the difficult bits And with Ariel's crew we're in clovers Thanks to Leif here in Reykjavik We've climbed and we've kayaked and sailed And we've fished and we've sailed some more But at home when we tell our tales There'll be icebergs very much to the fore Icebergs in all shapes and all sizes Most are white but some are bright blue They look good but they're full of surprises they roll over and fall apart too There's one of us paid no attention And declaring that iceberg is mine He set off amid gathering tension Giving his watchers a wonderful time But sometimes those icebergs are scary Especially when they move about And for dealing with moments quite hairy We'll forgive our skippers odd shouts And now for a word about SPAM And curry and broth and corned beef They're filling and they warm from a can but for variety a Big Mac's a relief I don't know if I'll go back to Greenland After all we've only seen a part But for an awesome dramatic dreamland Augpilagtoqs surely a start This has been and extrodinary trip It's hard to say what I've enjoyed most But before Leg 3 spinakers rip Clipper Greenland must now be our toast
