Song Of The ****** And Their Ship Called Mary Rose

Mary Rose, the mighty sailing sea vessel glided majestically across the waves

She had robustly and bravely sailed the briny waves for many a night and day

With the ocean's heaving gusting squalls blowing off proud stern and mast

Sailing victorious and proud - her billowing white sails were cast

The calm, liquid waters of the sea flowed quietly purple for now-

Unaware of the coming storm that would beat furious against her bow

 

Her alabaster sails whipped violent and furious in the oncoming storm

Impending doom was yelling its cries while the ****** went unwarned

Down below, inside their cabins the ****** peacefully slept

Wrapped in the secure watch that their gallant captain kept

The oceans black, boiling waves beat savage against starboard and port

As Captain Noe standing fearless - at first quake, did not the storm report

 

The old wooden beams of the Mary Rose began to restlessly moan and creak

While the blackened roaring, rolling waves beat furious against her feet

Her alabaster sails rose proud- beating mighty against wailing squalls and gusts

While deep inside the bow in bunks, the sleeping ****** ******

 

Suddenly...they heard the captain's distraught voice cry out

When the ****** heard his voice -they heard fear without doubt

“Awake, all of ye’ ”, Captain Noe forcefully roared

“Alive! Awake… all ye’ ****** come quickly up on board”!

 

The savage spirit of the sea reigned fierce with rage and fear

While the brave captain fought - loyal ****** brought up the rear

They courageously fought together - not silenced by the eye of death

As the sea raged violently against them with its brutal, menacing breath

 

To save their mighty Mary Rose, they’d dip their very souls in blood

Leaving themselves merciless against this drunken, mighty flood

With plank and bow standing fierce between them and their fate

The raging ocean’s fierce, blackened waves - the sea they could not hate

 

The morning brought the warming sun which rose broad above the waves

The winds had tamed their violent voice against captain and ****** brave

With unshakable courage and seaman’s wit not once were spirits broke

Each cheered his mate and captain strong as they fought with steady stroke

Their peril fought in days of danger and night filled with pain

Their manly courage did not wane - their fight was not in vain

For all the courageous ****** and their brave Captain Noe

Joined together in hand and spirit to save...their proud Mary Rose
