I was perusing all the lots, at a marine sales auction
And purchased an old boat without forethought or precaution
They gave me a captain’s hat, to cement my maiden cruise.
Anticipating the freedom, convinced I couldn’t lose

But not long after I cast off and began to set sail
The signal on my mobile was gradually starting to fail.
I really wasn’t worried, as the sea looked fairly calm
And thought nothing of it, with no real cause for alarm

Then the crying sun whispered to a cloud
The north wind heard and howled out loud
“Let’s have some fun and stir up a storm
Make him regret the day that he was born”

The salt spray stung my eyes as the cruel wind grasped my soul
Desperately looking for shelter, I crouched low inside the hull.
