The Fourth Sea Lord has a deal to plan,
For he's, chief of all, the Transport man.
He finds the Fleet in coal and victuals
(Supplying the beer--if not the skittles);
He sees to the bad'uns that get imprisoned,
And settles what uniform's worn (or isn't)....
Even the stubbornest own the sway
Of the Lord of Food and the Lord of Pay!
