Chasing Emmanuel women, we had a strong start.
Gained on them quickly, determined in head and heart.
Jesus, get off our bums -- we squashed you yesterday --
by the time we rowed over you were 5 lengths away!
The bank party whistling begins, but we're in a nasty sandwich!
Emma then us and Jesus, and a hungry Lucy Cavendish.
So close to bumping Emma have we got it yet?
We're a canvas away now let's bring out our jets!
Have we got it yet? Who is doing the whistling?
Our cox shouts HOLD IT UP! though only four of us listen.
Stern and bow pairs halt their rowing entirely
But the race isn't over -- shit Jesus now looks less miserly...
We reclaim our rhythm within a handful of strokes --
though Jesus has now really gotten quite close...
Back on our stride we glide through the wash up to Emma
to clinch the bump and emerge from the grisly dilemma!
We rowed home, flaunting our garlands of thistles
despite not knowing what to make of all those whistles...
