Strictly fictional


Poem Artwork


 


No sailing ship does he now captain,


Listens to no one but Clapton,


Cranks out the tunes,


When attacking at noon,


Some say he is an absolute loon…


 


His ship the last he did pirate,


Used he did the occupants as human bait,


Left he did this time his only first mate,


Needs another before its too late…


 


His hair gray, his beard as well,


Eats his meals from a conch shell,


As the best pirate of the Caribbean he does excel,


Kill or be killed, take no prisoners, no one to then rebel…

The life of a pirate some say was romantic but, alas...I say they were scorched from the sun and salt so much...not to mention the drink, that they were numb to their emotion with a lack of compassion. Their souls were just as barren as a deserted island and they were lonely, lost souls. As a metaphor...the pirate was a Cassanova, handsome sailor of bravery.
