A capital ship for an ocean trip
Was the Walloping Window Blind -
No gale that blew dimayed her crew
Or troubled the Captain's mind.
The man at the wheel was taught to feel
Contempt for the wildest blow.
And it often appeared, when the weather had cleared,
That he'd been in his bunk below.
—Charles Edward Carryl
