The Victor

Far from land and out to the sea
Calling for everyone to me
Crying for help without an aid
Coming to conquest in the raid

Seeking the land and blinded by
All but drifting on the sighs
Taking the sharks by the the nose
And for the moment find repose

Whoever heard that a man could win
After he’d fought just on a whim
Without a sword and with only a cry
That his brethren should stand nearby

Who’s ever seen such wondrous  sight
That with his trophy he found the light 
He’d taken off and he did win
For all his friends and all his kin

Let’s celebrate his victory now
As he parades and takes a bow
The winners’ circle is just so small
He’ll find his niche and conquer all
