Analysis of Heaven Despite the Warship
Lieutenant, do it now!
Yes sir, it's easier while Dolphins swim off the port bow...
Sir, what we did today makes me cry!
I know, me too, but look how the Stars fill the night sky...
Sir, I pain under the constant scorn!
Just relax, think of the Rainbow starboard this morn...
Sir, the stress, there's no more sleeping!
Its o.k., a gentle Wind tonight will rock away your weeping....
