Song of the cannonball ( a drinking song) (Free verse) by INTRANSIT
WEELLLLL...
I'll burst your hull
and tear your sheets
"SMASH"!!! the favorite things you keep
punch a hole in your stern
and kiss you with a powder burn.
I'm the cannon ball from over there
black and round without a care
I'll hurl myself at your feet
and "PLUNGE"!! you to the icy deep.
I'll snap your masts
and kill your men
a big round flying ball of lead
when I'm comin' your pants will stain
and cry out "MUM"!! you will again
refrain
In pyramids I reside
the cannon is my launching port
send me away just for sport
tuck me in nice and tight...
I'll bid your enemy "GOOD NIGHT"!!
refrain
I can bury you in the blue
make your helmsman hug the wheel
make the bottom grip your keel
I'll make you all second class
and bop you in your briney "AYE"!!
When it's time then light the fuse
I'll make you a vessel of priv'lege
push the cannon to the ledge
send me away with a smoky thrust...
I'll end up where I sink and ruuuuust.
