Rockwarden Bay
beset by the steel
that tore away
at old navy keels

and out for a stroll
while a ship passed the slip
and soon paid the toll
A queen on the sea
A beauty indeed
filled with them high born
filled by their greed
A bloodier scene
had not been known
until that massacre
in the rock-bottom foam
Hundreds and scores
and many odd more
laid down in the bay
and on bright red shores
