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?
