Across the Atlantic

I was lucky I never got seasick. Never got sick, the first day we was out I felt a little dizzy and after that was it so where we went, everywhere you looked there was guys spewing and sick, so when there were so many of them sick they couldn’t go eat so we had free of the mess hall, we could go any time at all. And the sea was still rolling. And it was so comical, they had this big dixie’s, these big tea, to put your tea in, you know they are huge teapot, the thing stands about that high with hot tea in it and the ship would roll. And that thing would come down, sliding down, try to grab it to stop. And the tables, they have an edge on them so nothing would come on your lap, everything would run. So then we had to help clean up the kitchen and stuff see so we liked that because go and help clean up the kitchen you got all kinds of extra food we could have. Then we’d wait and once the tables slide we’d jump on the tables and everything would slide off the table. So they had ropes, they put extra ropes all around so you could hang onto the ropes see, you could walk around but after a while she levelled out.
