The black bearded Captain Daniels took Mary to sea,
In the bloody, crested moonshine they floated fairly free,
The powers of the stars’ lighting the diamond, white ice,
The taste of peachy-grapes, yeast, potatoes and apple slice,
Old Paddy Morgan, the Helmsman with strange powers,
Steers the vessel away from the raging April showers,
And into the blue slammers the fortified ship flew,
My Fair Lady delving into paradise painted in blue,
As a screwdriver tears at a fizzing rusty nail,
A hurricane blew up, an Earthquake like gale,
Flying through the night with no thought at all,
She spins out of control not considering her imminent fall!
