Reposting this from June 2011 in honor of Father’s Day.

This is the story of a tidy little ship that sailed on Father’s Day.

O it’s I that am the captain of a tidy little ship,

Of a ship that goes a-sailing on the pond;

And my ship it keeps a-turning all around and all about;

But when I’m a little older, I shall find the secret out

How to send my vessel sailing on beyond.

— from “My Ship and I” by Robert Louis Stevenson
