The Late Ferry - King Orry - 01-06-2024
The Late Ferry
The buzz is growing across the ranks..
My radio station is now speaking Manx.
Checking the forecast, checking my kit..
Watching the webcams, I chomp at the bit.
“When are you going?” “er, I’m not sure I’ll bother”.
My twitchy fingers, on the keyboard hover.
Next year’s tickets released, while I look at next weeks’.!
Like a Ferry Cross the Mersey, the Steam Packet site creaks.
Is that an Azores High, in the north Atlantic.?
The website crashes, it’s getting frantic.
Johnny Moss and Kinners up the pace.
Racers line up for Practice, ahead of the first race.
Then from nowhere it appears, and with one click I’m booked.
It’s the same every year, I can’t help it, I’m hooked.
Now, pack a tent, or just pack a bag.?
Too late for a permit at the Sulby Cladagh.
But I’m on my way, I’ll soon be there..
To bathe in the TT atmosphere.
You’ll find me in the Rovers, getting steadily merry..
As for next year, you know, I’ll be on the late ferry.
