Christina A. Sharik: Bandages of Foam

BANDAGE OF FOAM
(for those lost at sea)

A great ship groans and strains with each wave
as each sailor is struggling, his buddy to save ~
The great guns have ripped the sad ship quite in two
and she screams as she plunges into wild depths of blue.
She will no longer fight; she will no longer roam;
And her wounds will be covered with a bandage of foam.
