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.
