U-boat Death
13 July, 2002
Author: David Soriano
Awash with two feet
Of the stinking diesel fuel
Could no longer dive
Bring it to the surface
Tried in vain to air the ship
Could not charge her batteries
Two hours after the incident
Came an escort carrying a unifoxer
Heaven sent fog to blanket the scene
Got away slowly in the darkness
Taking on the waters of the sea
The ship had to be abandoned
We had served as best we could
But the war was now clearly over
The final idea that came to mind
What port could be a safe haven?
