Helen Gungywamp
You mean “Helen of Gungywamp,” I think.
The Wreck of the Old Girl
In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
In the Maritime Sailors’ Cathedral
The church bell chimed, ‘til it rang 29 times
For each man on the Helen Thomas Gungywamp.
This is one reason I love Freepers. Here I was, minding my own business, reading along about a serious topic - and here comes Helen Gungywamp, and I laughed so hard! I was glad I hadn’t been drinking something - my monitor would have been totally spattered. Nice one.
