When the Ship Sank

(When the ship sank) When the ship sank I was on deck, my flute sang a holiday, my legs were trembling like a whale Cabin sat on whiskers, spills swerved the seas. Dennis was close hey hey,check the wind,check the wind Cool like frigidity lady whupped the deck Metals creaked all hell let loose hulls croaked Like frump unattached to the muscle of hope. When the ship sank I was on deck, my flute sang a holiday, and after a year or so my ribs found another deck chomped my sea animals corralled by weeds blue, brown, pink and red You may say its just a story, well said and sad. ________________________________________ © RAJAT KANTI CHAKRABARTY 16th November,2014
