Shipwreck Salvation
The waves are high
this time around
Let’s hope this ship don’t wreck
The last one out
has run aground
Don’t let this damn ship wreck
We’re headin’ out
for one deep dive
Let’s hope this ship don’t wreck
Just let us all
come back alive
Don’t let us join those wrecks
The captain says
with seas this rough
Let’s hope this ship don’t wreck
Let’s batten down,
stash all your stuff
Don’t let this damn ship wreck
The captain’s mate
has long passed out
Let’s hope this ship don’t wreck
We’re going down
without a doubt
Don’t let us join those wrecks
We’re donnin’ gear,
and givin’ thanks
Let’s hope this ship don’t wreck
With half a chance
and full air tanks
We might just dive this wreck
But lookit there,
it that blue sky?
Let’s hope this ship don’t wreck
It looks like we’re
not gonna die
So let’s go dive that wreck!
This is my response to Day Ten at napowrimo.net,
where the prompt is to write a sea shanty.

Was desperate at the passing out line. What a relief they made that dive!

😀 Only once did I have to “pray to gunwales” on a dive boat as I “fed the fish,” so to speak. 😉 Those were some pretty rough waves, and the boat was a-rockin’.

Glad for that ending! (K)
