In this boat I lay here drifting,
no one left except for me.
The ship is gone and in many pieces,
because of the creature from the sea.
I fear for my life that it will return,
the creature oh so big.
So I lay here motionless until it's
gone from the vicinity of this rig.
Is it gone? I really can't tell.
It could be watching from below.
It's been days now of me waiting
and I really want to go.
What is that, that I hear honking,
another ship at sea?
I hear a voice of someone calling,
calling out for me.
I am here, oh please help me,
I yell and waved them down.
I smiled at the captain of the boat
named Minnow, until I saw his
frown.
I turned and looked and saw the
creature rising up behind.
I prayed to God and then I thought,
Oh crap, I guess it's time.

The thought of this poem came to me when I was watching an old black and white movie. They had a spooky scene out on the sea but there wasn't a creature in this film.
