What happened to the boat?












1












$begingroup$


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?
