/// Many workmen are Making Repairs
at the Shipyard, but nobody dares
ask the Captain just how,
‘neath the waves some craft’s prow
pierced his ship while he sailed unawares.
/// They were two leagues from port, all was fine.
Then disaster, below water line.
A huge metal point speared
through the hull and they feared
they’d be sunk by the in-flooding brine.
/// Quickly ordering all pumps be manned,
from the deck, the horizon he scanned.
To the surface, afloat,
rose an undersea boat.
‘Twas the Nautilus, Nemo’s command.
