Murphy's Outlaw
got an offer to move a boat
from Jacksonhell FL to back home
it's a wonder that it float
and I should have left it lone
the thruhulls were clogged
and the rudder sqeaked
the engine would bogg
and it had an oil leak
the head didn't work
and the holding tank was broke
the compass had a querk
and the bilge pump would smoke
the sails were ripped
and there wasn't a bell
the wenches slipped
"It's a trip to hell!"
"every captain turned it down"
"I'll give you the job if you like?"
"I'm the crazy one around"
"what could go wrong I'm Captain Mike!"
by Capt Mike
ps someone please help me!, I forgot my fishing pole
and I'm stuck in the bilge with my finger in a leak hole!
and I'm thinkin
I'm sinkin!
