Two Views of a Ship Lost at Sea

Contributed by thepizzaguy on Friday, 21st October 2005 @ 12:51:28 AM in AEST
Topic: oops



1.) With "Endevour" written in caligraphy on
both sides of the bow.
A cruise ship waits.
It waits for a crew and captain
for it has none.
Calmly rocking back and forth
The waves cause ghosts of crew members,
to creak upon its vacant decks,
and ring the rusty dissonant bells,
from atop the watch tower.
It does not move,
therefore it haunts the water.
It does not have a soul

2.) The sound of a splash comes from the pool deck,
for it is Romeo and the fair maiden Juliet,
froliking about on board the vessel.
"Endevour" sails from the port of Verona, yes.
But this is no Verona.
Captain Romeo dropped anchor
160 miles from shore,
in the middle of nowhere.
There is no Tybalt, Mercutio, or Paris.
On this ship, Capulet and Montegue matter not...

...no longer is this a story of woe,
as the sun sets...
...Juliet kisses her Romeo...
