MAYDAY
MAYDAY MAYDAY,
OUR SHIP IS GOING DOWN,
THE BO'SUNS' NAME IS JONAH,
AND THE CAPTAIN IS A CLOWN
MAYDAY MAYDAY,
OUR SHIP IS GOING DOWN,
SAVE OUR SOULS,
PLEASE DON'T LET US DROWN
MAYDAY MAYDAY
OUR SHIP IS SINKING FAST,
MAYDAY MAYDAY,
A STORM HAS BROKE THE MAST,
THERE IS A HOLE IN THE BOW,
AND A HOLE IN THE STERN,
AND THE CAPTAINS' MOTTO
IS
LIVE AND LEARN
MAYDAY MAYDAY,
I DON'T KNOW WOT TO DO,
THE COOK IS SERVING RUM TO
THE CAPTAIN AND THE CREW
THE DINNER BELL IS RINGING,
WE ARE HAVING TURTLE STEW,
THE GANGWAYS ARE BLOCKED,
AND SO IS THE LOO
MAYDAY MAYDAY,
THE CAPTAIN IS OFF HIS ROCKER,
WE ARE GOING TO END UP, DOWN IN
DAVY JONES' LOCKER
THE HOLD IS FULL OF WATER,
THE DECKS ARE AWASH,
AND THE CAPTAINS' PARROT
IS NOT A PARROT,
IT'S A GIANT
ALBATROSS
MAYDAY

Excellent poem! Although I do wish the crew a smoother ride than that depicted here!
