Stranded

Stranded

     Said the Captain, “Crew, I think we have landed.”
     The bos’n said, “Cap’n, I am astounded; we are stranded.”
     Said the Captain, “Bos’n your fears are unfounded.”
     “This voyage has been thoroughly planded.”

     The bos’n said, “I think the crew should be disbanded.”
     Then the Captain produced a map he had founded
     But the bos’n wanted to be homeward bounded.
     So they swam from the beach where they were stranded.
