Why is our house called See Saw Sea? Its from Dylan Thomass Under Milk Wood originally a radio drama by poet Dylan Thomas ROSIE PROBERT (_Softly_) What seas did you see, Tom Cat, Tom Cat, In your sailoring days Long long ago? What sea beasts were In the wavery green When you were my master? CAPTAIN CAT Ill tell you the truth. Seas barking like seals, Blue seas and green, Seas covered with eels And mermen and whales. ROSIE PROBERT What seas did you sail Old whaler when On the blubbery waves Between Frisco and Wales You were my bosun? CAPTAIN CAT As true as Im here Dear you Tom Cats tart You landlubber Rosie You cosy love My easy as easy My true sweetheart, Seas green as a bean Seas gliding with swans In the seal-barking moon. ROSIE PROBERT What seas were rocking My little deck hand My favourite husband In your seaboots and hunger My duck my whaler My honey my daddy My pretty sugar sailor. With my name on your belly When you were a boy Long long ago? CAPTAIN CAT Ill tell you no lies. The only sea I saw Was the seesaw sea With you riding on it. Lie down, lie easy. Let me shipwreck in your thighs. ROSIE PROBERT, Knock twice, Jack, At the door of my grave And ask for Rosie. CAPTAIN CAT Rosie Probert. ROSIE PROBERT Remember her. She is forgetting. The earth which filled her mouth Is vanishing from her. Remember me. I have forgotten you. I am going into the darkness of the darkness for ever. I have forgotten that I was ever born.
