Captain, oh Captain! To the helm hurry thee!
'Tis land ahead and large that we see!
"Huff, puff, wheeze and whew
At the helm, thank you.
Is that Greenland I see? Praise the lord! Glory be!
All hands on deck! Prepare
to set it free."
Umm, captain, my captain, 'tis Iceland dead ahead.
Those were our orders, as you said.
"Iceland! Greenland! Abi gezunt!
As long as we're (hack " wheeze) healthy,
one island's just as good as another. Full ahead!"
But Captain, they're free, as is Greenland to be sure.
They likely won't welcome our ships on their shore.
