The Submarine

We were down further in the sea
Than any submarine should be
So now we sit on the bottom
As they drop depth charges to show we weren’t forgotten 

Then there was a large explosion 
Whilst it rocked own submarine on the bottom
And that seemed so long ago
As we wait for the final blow

On top bobbing around in the swell
Was the salvage vessel doing the job so well
Having found the long lost submarine sunk
Past 75 years ago in a Japanese attacking funk.
