Loony Tunes

loony Tunes I think she’s going down; said the sailor to the crew; Someone tell the captain; He’ll tell us what to do. So they ran up to the captain; who was resting in his room They said the engine room is flooding; we fear the ship is doomed. To the bridge the captain went; with his xo on his heels; It’s there they saw the tragedy; then his head began to reel. He thought of sending out an s.o.s.; but the radio was out; We think this could be it for us; the crew began to shout. When the Robert Louis Stevenson; disappeared beneath the sea; It took with it the hopes of he, who wished that he could be. He fears his ship is sinking; there seem no words to write; But it really doesn’t matter; but he’s not sure this is right. The powers took his speech away; he now is on the clock; As the icy water rises; his mind goes into shock. There seems a certain irony; perhaps poetically a must; He has used his words so carelessly; the outcome could be just. Living open minded; accepting what has come; Is just as much a lesson; as when living on the run. There’s nothing to be sad about; tomorrows another day; Regrets too few to mention; He did it all his way.
