Marooned

Marooned 

By Elton Camp

Meg & Mae’s ship went down
Only those two didn’t drown

They made it to a desert isle
No inhabitants--what a trial

It was alone they had to live
Not a man, their love to give

For years the two lived there
Though seaward they did stare

A ship on the horizon appeared
Meg and Mae both wildly cheered

Joy to sorrow too quickly turned
When the vessel suddenly burned

Before, to the depths, it went down
A young man, a life preserver found

He came floating toward their shore
The girls began to cheer as before

Just as they were getting ready to flirt
They noticed the words on his shirt

This, on his pink shirt, is what they spied
In large letters was emblazoned, Gay Pride
