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.
