Paisley's ship will sail alone
DR Paisley says that he is launching a stately ship - well, there are pirates on board.
The skull and crossbones remind us of the unsolved murders and the patch over one eye partial sight toward the British mainland. There is no mention of life boats, the top crew think it is unsinkable and able to negotiate Irish currents.
Those who cry iceberg cause the 'big guns' to roar and threats of internal mutiny is put down with signed agreements to be cast overboard.
The shanties are bilingual and self-indulgent intoxicating spin of battles fought and victories won.
I hardly think the rugged men of the shipyard would have broken a bottle on this new sea vessel, more likely over the heads of the crew.
