A FERRET AND A HALF DROWNED RAT
It's a dreary day, I'll grant you that,
Our home had passed from view.
The crew was lost not one survived,
Overhead a lone gull flew.
All that survived the fiery blast,
Far from land and distant shore.
Was a ferret and a half drowned rat,
That was all, there was no more.
Out at sea strange things occur,
Some survive while others die.
Not much left a patch of oil,
Neath a sullen wintry sky.
One wonders in an insane world,
Whose at fault and whose to blame.
Where a ferret and a half drowned rat,
Is all that now remain.
