Intrepid Meets the Kraken


Three years of fixing, and the ship


Intrepid readied for


Arrival in Manhattan, tip


Top shape. And fast she came


Remembering the war that brought


Her glory brightened pain.


She set to open once more thought


At Sea, Air, Space dock lane.


 


Intrepid sailed into the bay


With her stern sky-scraping


Then water crashed about with spray,


Long tentacles teeming


With jeweled water, saying his


First name was Grackle, but


One could announce to masses as


The Kraken, Grackle. Cut


 


The ribbons! Sound the music for


The Celebration! Yes,


Expect the Kraken at the door


Of our new show: U.S


Warships in Kraken-Great Squid War


Of Nineteen-Forty-Eight.


And Grackle as the show’s new star


Buy food and bring your date!
