All At Sea

All at Sea

Lurking under 

Salty sea beds,

Skirting around soggy 

Seaweeds,

Amongst sunken voyages 

And curious tourists,

The dreaded One,

Crouched, 

In anticipation,

For the next one!

Every ship that set sail,

Feared him,

He, who cannot be named ! 

For he rides the waves,

Incognito,

Frothing,

And fuming ,

Tiding his time! 

Trembling at his 

Invisible presence,

Anyone incensed

At his nonsense

Went into insignificance! 

Storms at sea

Come and go,

Ships heave and ho !

But snaking around 

The serpentine hold 

Was by far 

More slippery 

Than most!
