What a fine and noble ship,
Was my dear Angelina.
The Queen of every sea,
No shore too intimidating
Her hull was of the richest wood,
Magnificent sails never without a
Impregnating wind.
Ours was a most joyful and proud reunion,
Though caused by events most...
Unfortunate.
Peace and prosperity are known
To all her sailors,
But every so often,
The calm seas become disturbed
Under the Captain's guidance.
Titans and gods
War in the clouds above,
Showering our dear old Angelina
With many a bolt of lightning
But our Angelina has a dark side,
Darker than even
That of the Titans.
With every thunder clap,
Every strike,
Every rolling tsunami,
Our great Angelina
Just cannot help herself.
Whenever our dear Angelina is in turmoil,
She has to pass it to her
Faithful and caring sailors.
She takes all of it out on us,
As if it were we, we,
Whom controlled the weather
As if we had any control
Over her insane,
Childish
Temper tantrums.
Each time I wonder:
How much torment
Must we endure
This time.
I toss and turn,
Misery waking me.
I hope and pray
That this will not be my last
Dance with Lady Fate,
That I may yet again
Gaze upon
The majestic beauty
Of my homeland.
Somehow, we continue to shine
In the eyes of the blessed,
We who toil far below Gilead.
The sweet guidance of
The beautiful Constance
Keeps us adrift.
Long may we sail under her
In the waters of this dreamland
Known as reality.
