Untitled

Aye! 

The joyous ocean creatures awoke 
And the coward fire-breathers begun its dance

The sea of no end now draws a line
And the mighty swimmers of silence called aloud

But beneath the Captain's cabin
The brave ol' carrier now peeps

And so gone with the rudder, the hull and keel
The lone old drifter crashed its sails

But calling from afar are dreams souring high
Wicked vultures pulling them savagely down

And I behind the pen...uttered not a word
