Twas neither Ginger nor Maryann, but the Professor who doth bubbled my desire

Seen on TV Barn: the theme to Gilligan’s Island as written by William Shakespeare.

Shouldst thou gather at the footlights and I shall hereforth now relay
Details of a trip planned innocently for a calm idyllic day.
A cramped but sturdy craft forsooth, with a captain of good breeding
From the house of Minnocutious, but assisted by a seedling.

Their manifest, a fivesome, hadn’t prepared for the fates
One hundred eighty minutes, was stamped with ticket dates. (Yes, stamped
with ticket dates.)
Poseidan rather cruelly had storm fronts blowing them West
Had the shipmates shirked their duty, few doth would survive this Tempest

With lives flashing before them, and deaths most surely plan-ned
The craft washed up on welcome shores with shells and crabs well sanded
Sir Gillulet, snd Skyplock, the couple owning vineyards
A harlequin, the Oracle, a common wench tossed windward, surrounded land
commanded.

This quarrelsome quintet can’t escape (with even Sir Knight Bilko)
Through labors pleasing all our Gods may eventually see them let go.
Gillulet and Skyplock shall present rustic comfort
While top athletes from Harlem visit to please a Muse of some sort

Communication cryptic, no oil lamps or carriage
A simple life, no romance, since only wealth deems marriage.
Return anon fair subjects our players shall relate
Gillulet part the IInd and our septets looming fate.
