What happened to the boat?
$begingroup$
A man wandered onto a boat,
And fell through a hole in the hull;
He was gobbled up by a shark,
And then by a flock of seagulls.
Three days later the man's ghost came back,
To haunt the boat with the hole;
But the boat was not there and never even was,
It was only a desert of trolls.
What happened to the mythical boat,
Why was it never there?
What happened here with the desert and trolls,
What was this strange affair?
