Who says the captain has to go down with the ship, not if he can help it.


Poem Artwork

The captain is suppose to
go down with the ship
or beat azz with the whip
during Christopher Columbus
days during a sea going trip
Now a days the captain might
let the ship and everyone else
go down
while he escapes to safe ground

Life is like a sea going ship
we're the captains on our trip
and it's good to have a
great whip
The going down part we all
try to skip
A good whip keeps us in check
so our ship won't wreck
I refuse to go down with my boat
each and everyday I fight to
stay afloat
No need to gloat
but I give myself a vote

Oh my Lord
man overboard
Splish splash I was taking a dip
fell overboard from my own ship
I felt myself going down
but I didn't want to drown
Captain to the rescue
but he was in the water too
We wanted to sail again
no freaking way that
we were through
cause the captain knew
exactly what to do

OPM,

Hopefully the Captain could swim at least! Very interesting nautical experience.

We just have to hope that captains will rise to the occasion. Cheers! Liz

Thought provoking write here, some captains arent ready to pilot there ship, others are willing to guide others.
In Christs Love
