Old merchant ship the nervous guest
English channel, unruly host
Thirty feet from trough to crest
Around force twelve her engines roast.

Encased within a salty crust
Unseaworthy antiquity
Six thousand tons of finest rust
Convenience flagged iniquity.

Keeper of a thousand ships
Gathered in from tempest storm
Swallowed whole, an English fleet
Their quicksand ritual to perform
Chainless anchor, cast adrift
Ensnared by sinister Goodwin shift.

Patiently two monsters lurk
Beneath a watery camouflage
Graveyard Goodwins north and south
To wreak menace and sabotage
By merchant men in bitter rage
Long cursed throughout the shipping age…..
