Analysis of Desperate Nut
From the ship’s deck we could all see over there
A man desperately waving his hands up in the air.
He was on a small island and had a long beard
He was jumping around and acting all weird.
I asked the Captain and what he had to say
Is the guy is a nut, he does that everyday.
