There once was a man from the coast of Maine, <br />who laughed at danger with great disdain. <br />One day while at sea, gale winds did appear, <br />he laughed at the storm and to port did not steer. <br />The swells became higher, lashing over the bow, <br />but he smiled at the turmoil and danger disavowed. <br />The small boat so battered it gave up in vain, <br />there goes the man from the coast of Maine.<br /><br />Angelo Ventresco<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-last-laugh-3/
