Ballad of the Suez Canal: Verse Two

A ship is still stuck

in the Suez Canal.

It’s blocking all traffic.

I’m telling you, Pal,

that finding an answer’s

not easy or quick, and

getting the ship loose will

be quite a trick.

The thinkers are thinking.

The dredgers are dredging.

The ship is still stuck.

It took quite a wedging.

It’s a tale for the Ages.

I’m telling you, Pal,

‘bout the ship that got stuck

in the Suez Canal.
