Captain Twilley

 

As I got bored 

Of the whale on stage,

My eyes began to wander.

 

Across the aisle

Is where they roamed,

And fell upon another.

 

Alone she floats

On ocean of blue:

A Captain -

By the name of Twilley.

 

Transcendent gaze,

Inquisitive mind,

Irresistible confidence.

 

A girl of dreams

How perfect it would be

To cherish -

Someone like Twilley

 

She had to leave,

My lovely Captain,

To the coast of Mary\'s land.

 

And now I ache

For what could have been,

With my sweetest -

Captain Twilley.
