The Obstinate Lighthouse

The Obstinate Lighthouse It was off the coast of Newfoundland in the year of nineteen ninety six A humble little lighthouse, against a fleet of mighty ships Lights flickering in the night time and the Americans did say Beholder of the light ahead, you are in our way We are the USS Abraham Lincoln, an Aircraft Carrier, of Might I demand you change your course to North, unless you want a fight We are the USS Abraham Lincoln, the second largest ship I have you on our radar screen, you are but a little blip Cruisers and Destroyer’s, they steam along with me A mighty fleet of war machines, do not mess with thee Change your course immediate, move out of our way Your obstinance annoys us, what do you have to say The Canadian voice responded, you do not frighten me I am solid and stand firm, like the mighty great oak tree Saving souls is my work, here I stand like a rock So open up your big fat mouth and insert in it, a sock I am but a little lighthouse, I have no power to prove USS Abraham Lincoln and the fleet with which you cruise I am staying put, my friend, it is you that has to move. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-obstinate-lighthouse/ 18/12/2018
