May Day
Alone, all alone stand I
As the merciless waves
loose rage on this old oak
vessel.
Alas, the Captain long gone
Hears not the yell of an
erring Deck Hand.
Asleep was I when abandon
ship was sounded
Now I know not which to
save
My helpless self or this half
sunk vessel?
Both long doomed to crawl
the depth of this restless
sea.
