The SS Nap

The SS Napoleon is taking on water. Many police rushing to her aid. All want to help her, to ease the many paynes of her final hours. She is an evil ship though, much taken by other Arab galleys, and much given over to Arab hyperbole. Maybe the chief petty officer will order the band to play the Marseiilaise as she slips below. She was an evil ship, full of dark dead men's bones. 16 men on a dead captain chest. A bottle of rum for the twin boys who fired the fatal shot. She is running low on cheese. 

No sunsets ever

Funny that in all the skirmishes at sea, between Wellington and Napoleon, there are two ships that never do sink, despite all the ships sinking around them, in their own carefully orchestrated set piece naval battles. I am referring to two captains on two ships that are supposed to be on opposite sides, but which are always synchronised. These two captains, Capt Toy and Capt Cheese, on the SS Napoleon and the HMS Charlotte Corday; maybe Marshall Grey and Admiral Cheese are stoking each other's charcoal supplies while playing possum in all battles. The Corday and the Nap, two very solitary frigates.
