The USS What-if
What if the
ship had gone down?
Beaten and
battered,
Storm-logged
and tattered
What if the
ship had gone down?
What if she
sailed nevermore?
Her broken
debris
swept under
the sea
What if she
sailed nevermore?
What if she
couldn’t repair?
Gave up and
gave in,
let dark waters
win
What if she
couldn’t repair?
What if she
in the deep drowned?
What if she’d
tilted?
And in the
waves wilted?
What if the
ship had gone down?
