Some say it was the strangest thing
That was ever seen afloat
Alas it sank, the “Titanic Too”:
Willie Rimes’s little boat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made it out of pallets
\nAnd a cabin was a pollytunnell of PVC
\nPowered by a propeller on a power drill:
\nIt was such a sight to see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, it met its end
\nThe boat hit a rock unseen
\nAnd went the way of the first Titanic
\nTo the waters bottom green!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Rimes was saved by others
In the boat “Pacific Atoll”
They found poor Willie floating\u2026
Holding on to a blow up doll!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a life size model of Pamela Anderson
\nWith every dimple and curve
\nBut there was no red bikini!
\nBold Willie: had he the nerve\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the waves wild had washed it off\u2026
\nAlong with his boxers too\u2026
\nShe was his lifeguard, having no lifejacket\u2026
\nBut better his rescuers knew\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some say in the wreck of Titanic Too
In the bottom of the lake so deep\u2026
There bobs inflated his other bedfellow
Eunice, the Blow Up Sheep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
