      Is it not a WTB (Wind Turbine Base)?

      I seen a peanut stand, heard a rubber band

      I seen a needle that winked its eye

      But I be done seen about everything

      When I see a turbine base fly

      But who knows, I suppose this all depends on the size of the turbine that gets bolted on to it, stranger things have happened at sea!
