I am truly sorry, I just could not resist, this started out as a serious write and turned into this...LOL!


Poem Artwork


 


A taut ship she was,


That from the wharf buzz,


From the cabin screams did come,


Not one of her crew , scum…


 


She sailed round a horn,


Nary did she suffer in a storm,


Her sail maker the best,

The stiff phalanx on her bow must have been blessed…


 


Her captain trained under Horatio,


Hornblower did instruct him in fellatio,


The crew all happy to visit the captains cabin,


Better there than to be on deck him of them grabbin’…


 


Her name worn with time,


Crossed swords its crest,


The captain, the crew touted sublime,


The ships name, the Gay Celeste…
