The fog was quite thick,still the sun shine was bright…
It was hard to see in such nebulous light…
We were on our skiff quite a bit from the shore,
I had never felt quite so lost before…
Just then, my love, she saw it emerge,
Huge and slow like a drifting iceberg…
Upon it was flying a skull and some bones,
A flag with well known, ominous tones…
The galley, she drifted, no sound came from the deck,
Compared to her size we were naught but a speck…
We wondered allowed, why she hadn’t a crew,
There were not any pirates, not even a few…
A ghost ship perhaps, slipped its mooring and fled,
And ended up here spreading round quite some dread…
Still it was scary, I can honestly say,
We were glad when she passed and meandered away.
