Pirates and Big Boys
by Safi Abdi
Saturday, December 20, 2008
Rated "G" by the Author.

Become a Fan

Lover a melody sold
In fantasy arms unfold.

Fish and fishermen bold
A story in the Times sold.

A tale centuries’old
Though Majnun* his Layla* never told.

Hand to mouth, a fisherman ceased
Hunger’s a weapon, a pirate sneezed

US, UN, EU, NATO…YEAH! YEAH!
Big boy in the minor's woods
Like whale on dry land swoons.
A tale centuries’old
Though Majnun his Layla never told.
