Row row row your boat (The Unfortunate Captain)


Written by: NightInVioletArmor


Row row row your boat 

Gently down the stream 

Merrily merrily merrily merrily 

Life is 'bout a dream 


I'm at the boat.

That put in the sea, sailing alone, wide, and free.

Watching the stars day and night

I'm hoping I can reach it before the light.


Tighten the sail, hold the rope,

The storm is coming through.

Here it is: a gigantic wave slapped hard.

Quick! Cover the last ignite!


Lift the crew who are falling.

Save them from tragic drowning.

Hi-ho, up we go.

Here come the sailors, brave and strong.


Uh oh, crews can't hold 

Give them the light to prod 

Celebrate it all with ale and bread 

But what the hell they lost the lead!


I am the Captain of my sea 

Saving these people to live and free 

Yet all I knew, it was my catastrophe 

Drowning deep down, cannot be flee 


Crying out, screaming to the top of my lungs

"Help your captain, drowning down."

I kept screaming, yet they ignored me.

I cast a disdainful glance their way.


"Am I still worth their lives?"

The next thing I knew,

The deep ocean has already consumed me. Everyone vanished

Until I was left alone with a doused flame


Row row row your boat

Gently down the stream

Sappy Sappy Sappy Sappy

Life is not always 'bout a dream
