The Answers

1. Seas that have no beaches
To wend their waves upon
I floated with twelve peaches
A sofa, and a swan
With flying fish above me
And catfish all around
There was no one to love me
Nor hope of being found
When on a blurred horizon
So endlessly adrift
I saw all of a sudden
No sign of any ship.

To grim necessity; and he and I will keep league till death.
