William Henry

Since you left

There's been some dissention in the ranks

Bad news from above

They're closing all the banks

More or less

It happens to the best

You were in The War

The never-ending test

You built ships from blood and steel

Proved that World War II was real

I built a bagpipe that had gills

Your ghost said "feed it to the seals"

In the sea

There's a 40 fathom tree

If you try to peel the bark

You start to look like he

Back at home

The waves have turned to foam

I built a statue out of sand

But the hands are made of chrome

You built ships from blood and steel

Proved that World War II was real

I built a bagpipe that had gills

Your ghost said "feed it to the seals"
