 Ships At Sea 

Ships at sea, whipping white sails,

Hushed seas, beckoning shores

Beseeching, calling, whispering wails

Promising adventure in store

See the seven seas and swim with sharks,

Sea shells, slow moving sea snails

Search out undersea parks

Swim with dolphins, dive for shells

Such smooth seas, incoming storms

Slipping, tossing easily shifting sailboats

Boasting sailing ships, tall sails now taken down

Some speeding steadily southward

Sailors swiftly sailing almost in silence,

Stealthily searching slavishly, sweating,

Some starving, suffering, still searching

Some slaying, some striving to stop savagery

Stop this wanton savage slaughter

Stop greedy sea-life sellers

Swiftly, ship-side, so as to stop

Such wanton slaughter of this precious sea-life

Sailors still heading south

Sharks slowly swimming southward searching

Starving sailors still sailing, starving slowly sinking

Starving sharks satiated by feasting on savage sailors
