From his site:

The one-armed boatman and the giant squid

The one-armed boatman with the one right hand
Had lived all his life on the golden sand
Let me tell you 'bout the things they did
The one-armed boatman and the giant squid

He took both oars in his big right fist
And pulled away in the morning mist
Cutting the water in a dead straight line
Leaving the golden sand behind

The sea beneath him and the sun so high
He aimed for the place where the sea meets the sky
Standing all the time he never tired
And the sun grew lower and the sea grew higher

Then far away from where the seagulls call
Sea met sky and formed a wall
But he was not afraid when from the water slid
The fearsome shape of a giant squid

His head and body were coloured like oil
And as he rose the ocean boiled
But from the squid there came a silken sound
That calmed the sea for miles around

"Boatman boatman do not pause
Your presence here demands a cause
You see me here beneath the brine
I am you father you are mine

Your mother was an albatross
Sweeping wings to form a cross
We lay together on a bed of foam
And you were born to a sandy home

Put out your hand and take this potion
Newly formed beneath the ocean
And drink to your parents of the sea
And sing this sad refrain for me

For in the morning the sky was bluer
But the girl that I slept with was just a pure"

The one-armed boatman with the one right hand
Had lived all his life on the golden sand
But when he knew his hand it burned
And the one-armed boatman never returned
