The master of fates


The master of fates

Steady! Steady! Engineer!
Captain’s coming down from deck!
Get the grime, every smear,
Captain’s coming down to check!

Steady! Steady! Engineer!
Got a leakage in the ship!
Water’s come to laugh and sneer,
Get the buckets! Quick! Quick! Quick!

Steady! Steady! Engi- Eek!
Got a big burst in the pipe!
Gotta fix it up real neat
Otherwise, explode it might!

Steady! Steady! Engineer
Who keeps this dear boat afloat.
Now hide in the engine’s gear
A mere shadow in a coat.
