DAD'S GOLD WATCH
It's lying on the ocean bed,
Just south of Greenland's shore.
My father's golden pocket watch,
In a ship which is no more.
It was trying times in forty one,
In the war with Germany.
The GYPSUM QUEEN on even keel,
Submerged beneath the sea.
Dad survived that brush with death,
Just how we'll never know.
But his golden watch in solitude,
On the ship remains below.
A birthday gift from mom and dad,
To their son now out at sea.
Remains aboard the GYPSUM QUEEN,
For all eternity.
