Captain Found Me!

I was doomed But the Captain found me! I was buried in Shadow So his Lantern Was rogue in my unfortunate cell Before I had been imprisoned I was the sailor of the ship's mast That's the past I saw Far and Wide What men can only dream of telling But I was bent on favor's The underbelly of the Deficit Was in part, my task The shipmate's flask Was in need of retrieving Three nights in the gut Ankle wet in deep sea The Captain found me Minus lantern and flask Starved and with cold You hear the whispers of the ocean In the base of a vessel Aquatic carries on under ship Without even a notice Of a lookout swallowed whole If not for the Captain I would surely have be digested By the vessels rotten stomach I could not find myself out Without Lantern and Flask But the Captain found me And forgave me my task To find the Flask It mattered not at all Because the Captain had found me!
