Glub!

Among the things one finds when cleaning out the sent mail are lyrical fragments. Here's one that daisy_knotwise started and I finished up:

Never build a ship of stone
It surely won't be buoyant.
If sinking, leaves you all alone,
You'll find it's an annoyant.
You wouldn't want to find your race
Had perished in a watery place.
No, never build a ship of stone.

(Yes, you've likely guessed the tune by now...)
