The captain loved the anchor
Of his elegant cruise ship,
He utterly adored that anchor,
It was solid silver and gold and
Was decorated with diamonds,
It sparkled in the moonlight,
But then a sudden storm swept
Over the sleepy sea and
So the anchor was lowered --
He clung to her metallic body,
Blinded by his foolish attachment,
Then as the anchor splashed
Into the thirsty black water,
The sharks’ blade-like teeth cut
His flesh like a million daggers,
Mangling his wretched body,
And his soul sank deep into
The bottomless abyss of
The Dark Sea of Doom.
