“Mergoons! Dead ahead!”
The ship’s lookout said
All hands brought the ship to a stop
They exchanged topside crops
For good seaweed mops
And soft blankets made of sea bed
But one goonsailor bleated
“I feel I’ve been cheated!”
“These blankets are covered in slime!”
His mates said, “Don’t whine”
Be more careful next time!”
The transaction’s already completed!”
