KURSK
From engine room nine
salvagers fished the present
that Vajnka had just made for Irma
'look little girl
daddy is a bird
now he's afloat in the sea
and that dolly
is here to bring daddy air
all the way down in the sea
where there's benches
to get some rest
after the deep journey
dear little girl
keep bringing daddy air
because that dolly, that's you'.
