Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Dropped Off

A fourth ship, Buba, sailed with me
On the India ocean trip.
The Buba led the other three -
Kind of a test the waters ship.
So many thought the Earth was flat,
And at the edge, a drop to hell.
So, I felt it was prudent that
Buba go first for show and tell.
Under sail for a week or so.
"Captain Columbus, please come quick,"
I heard, so I came from below.
The sounds of water falls were thick.

The ship, Buba, dropped out of sight.
I guess those flat earthers were right.
