You are not alone. We are all here to help. The song "Darling Clementine" came to mind, perhaps because I just bought some tangerines. It is a mournful ballad of miner's daughter who died in a tragic drowning. A story of lost innocence and beauty gone to waste. There are lots of interesting verses to work with about herring boxes and ducks and foamy brine. He're Bobby Darin's take:

Maybe a refrain like:
Oh my Brunswick,
Oh my Brunswick,
Oh my Brunswick rails so fine,
You are lost and gone forever,
Now my game is in decline.
Or:
Where's that Cobra,
Where's that Cobra,
Where's that Cobra, man of glue?
He is lost and gone forever.
What will Johnny ever do?
See what you can do with this verse:
Ruby lips above the water,
blowing bubbles soft and fine.
Though in life I used to kiss them,
Now she's dead, I draw the line.
I'm hungry.
