powerful harpooner strikes

Long to see island's north shore
They share her beauty

And his name was Donald Trumpet; 
Had no appeal;

he would sit at the beach and upchuck it,
when bikinis strolled he'd ooze

There was a young man from Nantucket,
Whose logic for life was to duck it. 
Scoffed “ignorance is bliss”
Till the fates took a piss,
Now life’s gone to hell in a bucket.

his memory jaded
don’t remind him of where he once stuck it

Her job was to carry a bucket
Back from the well
Twas heavy as hell
She finally told her boss “take a hike”

Who chased down a goose, just to pluck it
As she ran, took a spill
So he gave her a quill
And I guess we all know, where he stuck it

who kept all his money in his pocket
when he got cleaned out
took his gun out
and shot the moth in his pocket.

There once was a young girl from Nantucket
Who's charms overflowed by the bucket
If you ever saw her nude
You'd try not to be rude
But you'd try to cover up your large nugget

You were expecting something else perhaps???...
