WEELLLLL... I'll burst your hull and tear your sheets "SMASH"!!! the favorite things you keep punch a hole in your stern and kiss you with a powder burn. I'm the cannon ball from over there black and round without a care I'll hurl myself at your feet and "PLUNGE"!! you to the icy deep. I'll snap your masts and kill your men a big round flying ball of lead when I'm comin' your pants will stain and cry out "MUM"!! you will again refrain In pyramids I reside the cannon is my launching port send me away just for sport tuck me in nice and tight... I'll bid your enemy "GOOD NIGHT"!! refrain I can bury you in the blue make your helmsman hug the wheel make the bottom grip your keel I'll make you all second class and bop you in your briney "AYE"!! When it's time then light the fuse I'll make you a vessel of priv'lege push the cannon to the ledge send me away with a smoky thrust... I'll end up where I sink and ruuuuust.

Somewhere between Monty Python and Sponge Bob Square Pants.

In some of the lines the cannon ball seems to reveal his gay side don't ya think.

The "Aye!" made me laugh out loud and for that a -10-
