[hometext] => A poem about a cruise that went horribly wrong
[bodytext] => Cutting through the waters so blue The funnel suddenly blew A cloud of smoke up in the air While on board the passengers Were dancing, talking Having their share of laughs On the dance room floor The shifting shafts of light Made an elegant sight And the people danced on into The night Little did the passengers know That their delight would soon Turn into fright As they danced on into The night As the ship headed towards its plight The watchman did not sight The reef that would cause So much grief Closer now than they were before The watchman could make out the vague outline Of the shore They were almost there when he suddenly saw A sharp piece of reef The watchman stood in disbelief He ran to tell the captain But it was too late to stop It was a shock when the ship made contact It rocked with the impact The passengers were thrown here and there Like one of those rides at a country fair The crew rushed to get the life boats but it was too late The ship and her passengers were to meet their fate With a loud rumble the ship began to sink And before people could even think It exploded in a ball of light And settled on the bottom of the ocean In the middle of the night I'm told that the wreck is still there But not to go down unless I want a scare For I'm told it is a gruesome sight To see the long dead passengers Dance on into the night [comments] => 3 [counter] => 451 [topic] => 68 [informant] => Redhotchilichic [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => fictional )
