Abandon Ship

I dived into her ocean in search of her precious fruit.
For stories I was told that my taste buds it would surely suit.
My submarine at full throttle I did submerge.
Deeper and deeper I went at the warm waters urge.
Not fully knowing her pleasures but on the verge.
As my vessel pounded her ocean floor I could hear her scream: "you can go no further and no more!"
There lay my vessel with its precious cargo and family jewels intact.
The hull softened as it lay in those warm murky waters on the ocean floor unable to move and erect no more.
Suddenly the floor gave up its elusive treasures.
For whom all men strive to attain its yet unknown pleasures.
The lure of that watery land can entrap and cost a man.
Suddenly the engines restarted and were out of control and about to explode.
Unprepared my ship was not fully equipped so without haste I had to abandon ship.
