No alarms and no surprises, please

Dear Santa,

a tall ship

and a star to steer her by
and the wheel's kick
and the wind's song
and the white sail's shaking.
and the grey mist on the sea's face
and a grey dawn breaking.

but if it's not tall, and there's no peace, and no quiet,
i'd settle for a 49er

i think i could deal with that
(some extracts from John Masefield's "Sea Fever", a life changing poem)
