Captain Johnson

"As your ship is going down,
I'll stand by and watch you drown" ("Ha Ha You're Dead" Green Day)

Your wife was a bamboo addict
While your one-armed daughter learns at home.
You taught her some sea basics,
But then just left her all alone.
Headfirst for sweet young talkings
And for desperate housewives (1) -
Desperate to nightwalk in stockings,
In dark, which covers unskilled lies.
Go on with navy news - and better put sea hat on
Keep on telling tales, brave captain Harry Johnson.

Sex in the city (2) got way too far
In the inch brain, which can't read through.
Amateurism is the wide open scar,
Shown on the vintage photo of the dew (3).
The open sea's too soon and dangerous
And the new crew mate is offline,
So sleep soundly at the Polsland Hideous -
The crime's yet to be defined.
Carry on widely smiling, this time leave striped shirt on.
Hold on to made-up stories, brave captain Harry Johnson.

Everyone loves soft things - silk nightdress, compliments,
But all along tough stuffing here reveals what side pretends.
Pushing things like a motor turns out to be a blackmail,
Therefore swim off the beach shore on your ship without a sail -
That is the release on bail.

Who are you now? No one finds out,
Until you make no mistake.
Though the main lesson from that's about
Not staying anonymous at stake.
The sandy comedy was washed away
Long ago since his ship was way too close.
Running yesterday to feel free today,
Though it is not the path you chose -
If the wheel's on, from here to Lebanon - that's what waves turn their backs on.
Get down to work, keep training on, brave captain Harry Johnson.
