Wednesday, February 25, 2015 // The Statement
3B
The ship went down with its captain
as all sturdy sea ships do.
It sank in a flash
of briny salt splash
as the captain gazed over his crew.
The ship she sank to the bottom
as the captain turned sweetly mad.
And the crew they all shrieked
as the cruel waves peaked
and the sea took back what it had.
Then all was lulled to some peace
as the crew walked tiredly ashore.
They all looked around
but no captain they found
whose ship lay on the sea floor.
Now all who remember dear captain
honor with venerable grace.
There was sea in his eyes
with strong waves as the prize
of his salty, sweet resting place.
