A little ditty about an integral part of our hobby. To the tune of Coming Round the Mountain. This is the result of having that song stuck in my head all day. now I've got a different song stuck in my head, but I'm having a lot more fun with the new one.

She'll be sinking by the stern when she sinks
She'll be sinking by the stern when she sinks
She'll be listing hard a starboard
She'll have both her pumps a'screamin'
She'll be sinking by the stern when she sinks!

She'll have sixteen holes below when she sinks
she'll have sixteen holes below when she sinks
She'll be missing half her boot
she'll have fifty holes above
She'll be holier than $#!+ when she sinks!
YEEHAW!

She'll be sunk in fifteen minutes from the start
She'll be sunk in fifteen minutes from the start
She will hit the rocky bottom
She'll be covered up with pond scum
She'll be sunk in fifteen minutes from the start!

She'll be fighting fit again in half an hour
She'll be fighting fit again in half an hour
she'll be raised up from the bottom
she'll be patched up and dried out
She'll be fighting fit again in half an hour

Note: the damage portrayed in this shanty is exaggerated. No ship known to man could survive long enough to take this much damage (Rodney sank with 8 belows, and this song claims a ship survives long enough to take 16).
Comments, suggestions, and additions are welcome.
