S!.O!.S!. means "suspend other services" (commonly thought to mean save our ship, but that's not accurate)!.

This is a nice poem
and this talks about distress!.
With a boat lost at sea
so could people!.

SOS
This is a distress signal
people out at sea call
when there is trouble!.
Maybe the boat is about to sink
or there could be a collision!.
Mayday might be used
another word for SOS
Save our souls, or
Save our ship

(SOS doesn't 'mean' anything!.!.!.S and O are just simple to do as morse code - dot, dot, dot, and dash, dash, dash or maybe the other way around!)

SOS, a synonym for creamed chipped beef on toast!.
