Courage, and a Shudder

     A ship requires a captain, and a rudder
          uncharted seas - courage, and a shudder

     Picking up speed, egos unchecked
          tempt fate, shipwreck

Hello Gershon, yes there are a lot of shipwrecks at the bottom of a lake or ocean or seas. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/
