Blimey
A tail of the actions that happened to be.
I was coaxed Deeply into a squalled sea.
some say drowning gracefully sounds like a melody
What it looks like in real time is manifest calamity.
_
They asked that I be captain, do a small, big task.
said I would get amenities. of which I would not Avast.
they told me it was fomented and not to give much sass.
Treasure of the highest would be gained and booty I would grasp.
_
I took to the boat, believing I could learn to maintain it.
Heaving all I could muster weighing anchor to sustain it.
Making sails and biting bullets to the quest as ye crew named it.
All hands ahoy as we deploy with a Yō ho ho blindly port sided.
~
AYE, we cast off in a gleeful boast.
the idea that with shipmate's help we'd scuttle or coast.
With cheers and hoopla given helm and coaxed.
believing I should commandeer this beauty boat.
~
Eye, I, sea AS I stood at the fore.
A savvy chartered vision like never before.
Yet, Mutiny whispers under the hatch from shore.
Buccaneers pushed me off the plank from a hornswoggling core.
~
Bloody gallows were not for me.
Calling on Davys locker when the sea fare friends marooned me.
Sea bait for sure, still My mermaid friends did not deceive me.
They came in droves from coast to coast with a valor king.
~
Drowning alone doesn't mean I am strong.
Drowning out loud doesn't mean I am not alone.
To cry havoc is a poisonous cast.
Bending the ship from hold to mast.
~
Being marooned is meant to be the end of fame.
Alas my friends from the sea remained.
Saved my booty and my pirate's name.
Look around, they are here in vast numbers, they came.
~
Eye, I see my hearties in numbers.
Look around you now, the sea never slumbers.
My friends are sea friends and not ye lubbers.
The best of the best agitators and delicate lovers.
Blimey!
