Premium MemberSS Southern Cross - the Old Lady of the Sea

   Built in a Belfast shipyard
 for Shaw Savill ‘n Albion Line.
   On her flagstaff wind ‘n lee
 flew the Southern Cross ensign,
   down a slipway to the sea
 launched afar by Her Majesty

   Behold her pale eau de nil
 green ‘n painted hull of grey,

Premium MemberThe Ss Are Squinding

Slippery squat salamander squinding,
Sucking, slurping under my sailboat. 
Deviously deciding a dindling,
Grotesque gargoyle giants squind your throat!

Sensationally senile sedentary solid senators
solemnly, sincere, seriously self-serving
sanctifying, seconding, seeking senatorial reelection

Premium MemberThe Ss Edmond Fitzgerald

In memory of the SS Edmond Fitzgerald
November 10, 1975
Seventeen miles Northwest of Whitefish Point, Michigan
Lake Superior

Twenty-nine crew men are cradled
in a watery grave
no distress calls were ever heard
no bodies ever recovered
the gales of November turned fierce
as the 729 foot ore carrier 
plummeted to her final resting place
530 feet below
Lake Superior holds too many secrets
and leaves

Not Superman, but "Super Spreader"
A "Lies & Virus" Double-header
He's heading your way
Tomorrow you'll pay
People we loved could not be deader!*

Premium MemberSS Sultana

Boiler, or bomb, the Sultana sank on April 27, eighteen sixty five 
Taking down with her, a good rounded off number of 1,800 lives

Carrying Union soldiers, who were ex-prisoners of war, up north
From Vicksburg heading high up the Mississippi river, it set forth

The weather was not so good as the Mississippi river was flooded
So the

Waffen Ss Guard Nazi War Criminals

When the Germans invaded Latvia and Estonia
They decided these people would have 3rd Reich favours
And so they recruited or drafted young men into the Waffen SS 
Who fought on the Eastern Front battles showing their mettle

When the war started to go bad for the Germans
These troops were still fighting backs to the wall without end
Then

Ss Single and Searching

Deep into the sunflower,
Shirking away in facade.
Alas!
The It in the search for it,
But the constellations know better.
Soon draws in the daily winter;
When the flowers wilt and fall;
As it shivers off the travesties,
To settle up in serene,
Adorning its grey regalia,
Giving It the fickle find.
The moon plays hide and seek,
And the night is It.

The Mystery of the Ss Ourang Medan

In 1947 in the Straits of Malacca near Indonesia
An old Dutch freighter the  SS Ourang Medan 
Sent a message out that the whole crew was dead
With the last message from the operator being, “I die” 
An all-out effort was made to find the ship
And when it was found no-one responded from aboard

They were able

The Great Lakes Engineering Works built a new boat
S. S. Edmund Fitzgerald, t'would soon be afloat
The people that owned her needed a name
President of the company was given that fame.

One of the largest boats to sail on the Great Lakes
Was a solidly built boat and had what it takes
September twenty fourth nineteen fifty and eight
