Venturing out in vessels from the
Vikings to Victorian times
Vigilantes with valour and vision
and of vengeance and vice.
The likes of Vasco da Gama and
Vespucci and Vadino Vivaldi,
From Venice to Venezuela,
of viceroys and victory.

Through oceans and variables vicious
the vast world their home
No valuables or valise to vex them
thro’ vales and valleys they roam.
From villages to veld they visit
being valorous and versatile,
A vagrant of sorts, a vagabond
sometimes vicious and vile.
