OH, WHERE DID THE RED SLED GO G. D. DAVIS FT-l We have a lad within our crew, Who says there ' s nothing he can ' t do. He turned us to with hammer and nail, To make a sled that would not sail. We made it long but not so wide ; He looked at it with beaming pride. When morning came and we turned to, We launched that sl ed on the ocean blue. To take a bow, this lad stepped up. But his sled was floating wrong side up. WTiile up on deck a roar was heard, Then came the Captain ' s final word : We ' ll give the Red Sled one more try ; These Weights Will Make It Float Right Side Up Where Did It Go? Over the Side This time it must be do or die . With trembling iiands and fear filled face, He brought it aboard and bound in place Two bunk frames and a powder flask. Hoping this would do the task. When all was ready once again. We proceeded with the original plan. The rail was manned, the sled was raised. Our lad stood ready to be praised. At first we thought he was going to w eep As he watched his sled sink beneath the deep. Oh ! Where did the Red Sled go?
