Subject: Captain Lynch's Storm

Captain Lynch was captain of the sea
not one failed voyage; all would agree
Captain Lynch was proud as any man could be.
On the morn of a voyage, he cried to his crew:
"We will be triumphant! Any less will not do!"

The vessel was ready, the keel in place
men worked in unison, with style, with grace:
all thinking about challenges soon to be faced
when Captain Lynch called, his face all aglow:
"Onward, men! Onward, ho!"

A fortnight passed, then two, then three
always clear weather: not a storm to be seen;
then sky blackened quickly, and so did the sea.
Then Captain Lynch said, his face white as snow:
"Onward, still men! Onward, ho!"

In it's rage the ocean did swell:
wind shrieking, tolling the knell,
through the turbulance the Captain did yell
as the vessel did sway to and fro:
"Onward, I say! Onward, ho!"

Men standing strong, though some were lost
Some went overboard while the ship tossed;
Hopes raised, fingers crossed;
And still Captain Lynch cried, loud and slow:
"Onward! Onward! Onward, ho!"

Many men injured, but forced to press on
Yet Captain Lynch, in his fury, staying strong
Daring any man to come forth, to prove him wrong
That this was not the right way to go,
"Onward!" He bellowed, "Onward, ho!"

Soon clouds parted and rain ceased;
Men stunned: they had beaten this beast;
They were triumphant to say in the least!
Yet Captain Lynch was nowhere to be found,
Until someone spotted him, dead on the groud.
