I Class Prophecy Belay there, you swabs. Do you think you’re on This is Captain Freeman And we’re already late. Avast there! a date? talking You know right well we’re sailing Far out beyond the blue; To start us on our journey Is entirely up to you.’’ Our group was out to journey Across the wide, wide sea To celebrate the anniversary Of the class we used to be. Haul up the plank, you sea-splashers. You’re looking kind of dead; Come on there. Mister Mulhall— Do you think you’re made of lead?’’ Hustle up and use your head, Sigmunt, Joe, and Paul, Or we will never sail around To our first port of call.’’ Back to work they all went, Much running to and fro And every little while Cap’n sent Amerino down below. While setting sail directly east. We bumped into one Irene Wicsi; No longer she commands, Come here,” But instead she says. Yes, darling, what is it, dcai?” The members of this jolly crew Were quite a cheerful lot; When they were given a task to do. Most of them forgot. Steward Engel tried hard to please But no reward did he receive. For Richard Tittel in a moment of jest Tripped the steward and sent him west. Emil Ozimck can be seen The crow’s nest perched atop; He tried so hard success to find That’s how he reached the top. Page Turnty-fix
