A Moment of Fear

A moment of fear

Typhoon in the Pacific Ocean
I saw the tall watery mountain 
bearing down on the ship
thought I was done for.
But the old ship had another idea
she rose and rose to the top
and plunged down to the other side.
Wave after wave she took
each time she shook like a wet dog.
But the old girl made it.
Next day the ocean was just choppy, 
we made it to Kobe.
