Starboard or Larboard

Thoughts on a rather cynical night

Starboard or larboard

Don't mean much today

Forward or backward

Don't matter which way

The ship is sinking

We're too far astray

Starboard or larboard

We're doomed either way

[Dave Brown]

Well written
The ship has certainly been steered into rough waters
it may not require an asteroid to leave an unrepairable hole in the hull

Thank you !!! ~Jim

I know a lotta people who believe we're in the End Times... I don't know about that, but it's pretty bad out there.

Thank you. I find whenever I write in rhyme I also want to write in exaggerative ways (too romantic / too gloomy etc). ~Jim

[John Sullivan]

I've been experimenting a lot with rhyme lately myself, and I don't think it's too gloomy or anything, it is uniquely terrible out there
