Character
Traits of James Cook
James Cook was a
natural-born leader. He was very adventurous, and was never one for sitting
down and resting. Though he ‘retired’ from exploring at one time in
his life and worked at a hospital, he could not do that for long so he had to
get back on the sea. He was very healthy himself, he believed in a healthy diet
and exercise. Not only did he do these things himself but he encouraged his crew
to do them as well.
An Ode to
James Cook
An ode to a heart,
Truer than true.
An ode to the skies,
Bluer than blue.
To uncharted waters,
And lands anew.
To all seamen with scurvy,
A bit of lime juice will
do.
An ode to the brave,
And to the man who knew.
He knew of the world,
And a healthy diet too.
An ode to a survivor,
Who got them through.
