jane and i d been married for only a week and were honeymooning down off miami beach we took our rented cabin crusier way out past the reef doing as we pleased just my jane and me i was on the starboard bow baiting a hook jane was taking a sunbath and reading a book and all at once the southern sky grew dark and it started to rain the anchor chain began to strain the breeze became a hurricane i was panic stricken so i quickly ran below and tried to reach the coast guard on the short wave radio i sent sos s but no answer ever came i called to jane but the wind and rain had given jane to the hurricane all night long i searched through roaring waves and driving rain and over a hundred mile per hour winds but all in vain i was torn and bleeding and i cursed the hurricane used the name of god in vain i was insane from losin jane now the morning sun is hot the seas are calm once more and the breeze is gentle as i head the boat for shore my eyes can t help the crying and my heart can t help the pain that s in my brain from losing jane my everything my darling jane
