The little sailboat

Tried to stay afloat,

Despite being caught

In the throes of a storm;

It tried so hard,

Braving the waves

That tossed it around,

Even upside down,

Until at last

Its weakened mast,

Gave in,

And the storm scored a win;

While the sailboat

Lay broken in defeat,

Carried away

By the ravenous waves,

That will not remember

That brave little warrior,

And yet, it did exist.
