The Last Voyage
The ship slowed shuddered and stopped,
run aground on a sandbank, the pilot
looked confused It wasnt there yesterday,
he muttered to our silent captain, who kept
his mouth shut in fear of saying something
regrettable. The old man rang Mobile, thats
in Alabama and quickly tugs were on their way;
he was annoyed with the pilot it was his last
voyage before hanging up his sextant after forty
years of seafaring. The old man paced the starboard
side of the bridge the pilot occupied the portside,
they were not on speaking term, but courteous as
always he sent me to serve the pilot coffee who,
since he had no one else to talk to, told me that that
damned sandbank wasnt there yesterday.

Hi Jan,
This made me smile with a somewhat supprising giggle right at the end.
Good write
With love
