Whilst riding along, on the ferry, cross stream

With a captain, quite cavalier, and in his prime

Into the dock, we crashed, which created a scene

Seems the captain forgot, to drop anchor, on time

She stuck to his side, like a barnacle at sea

Attracted to him, but a bit too smutty

He ignored her advances, brushed off moves

Letting her know, he would never approve

Of the way she clung, to his macho physique

Loving the way, he exuded mystique

But he wanted nothing, to do with her

Scrapping away, like a mad saboteur

Finally, he was able to release from her grip

A bodacious barnacle, had no place on his ship

The captain was nowhere to be found

It seemed his boat had run aground

Through starlit night and moonlight glow

He vanished in the undertow

Or had he disappeared from sight?

Did he, from his ship, alight?

Has he found his newest haven?

Or been swallowed by his first mate, Raven?

The bird will never tell, my friend

Of how the captain met his end

If you look closely upon this place
Perhaps you’ll see the captain’s face

Hands on wheel, to steer his boat
The hull of which shall never float

Again upon the endless sea
For once a mighty shipman, he

Could not save his precious vessel
Washed ashore, forever nestled

From the waters, onto the land
Forever lost, in grains of sand
