Ocean
by Stephanie Reis '20
As the crew loads up the dock
They are preparing to hunt whales Some stand by to see, others to mock As they depart on their sails The sea is flat No harsh waves to be seen They watch as the fish land with a splat But the seas start to turn mean With darkening clouds And a roar of thunder The crew gathers in crowds Worrying they might go under The captain barks his commands They need to be followed To ever see again the lands Or have the ship be swallowed The crew follow the tasks And they put up their best fight They do what the Captain asks Taking on the storm despite the fright The waters show strength But the crew will not bore For they will go the entire length Until they reach the shore Suddenly the water stops Someone shouts land ho The fear suddenly drops And the crew is ready to go |
