 I'm not the prurient pal of fortune 

What's that you say
Who are you?
Oh, me? No one to you!
I'm just the who I am!
Please be gone
Oh I am 
Gone and gone again
Like ripples on the sea
A flower never seen!
I'll shine my boots 
just to the sea
And whales with a hundred years of twisted scar
The Essex knew her well but the sailors had not read
About the Solomon Islands 
And so headed for South America
Because of fear
Of cannibals
But truth be told-
Um oops
