The Shipwreck
When the sea is a caldron of the devil’s own soup
While the Banshee winds scream out terror’s at night
When the four bells sound on the main deck bridge
Pray brothers pray, that we may see morning light
Main mast cracks sharp like a bullwhips own snap
Rudderless to God’s mercy in his hands we will trust
Listing to the port the hull creaks a final protest
Life boats soon capsized to the rolling sea’s greedy lust
Captain tangled in rigging to King Neptune descend
Hold fast all good fellows to we cling to ropes cast
As the goddess of dawn finally lights up the last sight
Tis over, tis over, we survived Satan’s fury at last
Almost got dizzy reading this one...:)!!
Love tinka

This reminded me of one of those glorious Greek tales with Jason and the Argonauts...
You took me there with your rivetting narrative...
All hands to the pumps !!
