SOUTH GEORGIA

​

​

​

The Argies landed on South

Georgia in April '82

​

When I read about it I never

thought one day I would too

​

Land on that distant island

where the Falklands war began

​

When the chance arose naturally

I grabbed it with both hands

​

500 miles we sailed from

Stanley on the Sir Lancelot

​

With only two female officers

the cabin that we got

​

Was the Sick Bay, what luxury

a toilet plus a shower

​

Bliss from months of ablution

blocks with low water power

​

Helicopter flights and a picnic

basket filled to the brim

​

Were added to my memories

that time and years never dims.
