Captain's Outrageous

Seafarers, abstain from hard drinking!
Be careful when chains starts in clinking
The sot in command
Has got out of hand
Beware of his brain's errant thinking.

Captain Will Stone (Richard Dix) goes homicidal in The Ghost Ship (Mark Robson; 1943).

The Captain's (a) Mess

Here's a captain who rules like a god
He's a crapulent, foolish old sod
Though nautically skilled
He ought not have killed
His mind snapped, so he's cruel and quite odd.

Shipping Yarn

In this thriller a freighter's en route
And our chilling narrator's a mute
Someone's pelted with chains
And as Skelton explains
There's a killer predating to boot.
