Foggy mist
A sailers bane
Will it lift
Or heavily hang
Rendering
A once certain course
Now decidedly less certain
As the misty shroud descends
Will it bring our sailing to an end
Mayhap the sun
Will brightly burn
Upon this water laden blanket
Clear a way
To enjoy this day
And remove the risk to bank-it
Will the waters be navigable
Or will the fog outlast
It is incalculable
Alas
