    Nah, I was thinking of . . . Super Worm!

    To whom do lions cast their gentle looks?
    Not to the beast that would usurp their den.
    The smallest worm will turn being trodden on,
    And doves will peck in safeguard of their brood.


    (Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part 3)

    And the fact that my next water ride will definitely have no exposed wood at all. I've learned that lesson. Never did find a finish that would last more than a few months. I don't like this song, but have sung it often:

    "Sanding, sanding, over the bounding main . . ."
