I'm The Captain

My imagination runs wild. Just having a little fun with the fact I'm living alone late in life and I've cleaned it up to make it suitable for this site.

 

I’M THE CAPTAIN
Clean version
 
My ship may have already sailed,
but I’m still the captain.
I settle the argument
whenever stuff happens….
 
I cast off my own lines
and I control the rudder.
I’m the man in charge,
there can be no other….
 
I make my own way
and I pay the fare.
I punch my own ticket,
when I go anywhere….
 
I know how to fish
and I know where to look.
No matter what I’m fishing for,
I bait my own hook,,,,   
 
I row my own boat
and when I get to shore,
I make my own way to town
when I’m looking for more….
 
I do my own dirty laundry
and cook my own food.
I do my own dishes,
whenever it suits my mood.
 
I sweep my own floors
and I mow my own grass.
I shower alone
Unless, I meet a friendly lass
 
The image I see
in my looking glass,
is a guy with integrity,
but a bit lower class.
 
For me, there’s no woman
who could stand the test.
Cause, with high tolerance levels,
I’ve just never been blessed.

Rainmaker by Susan Smith

Cold cases, Cold War relics, revenge served cold. All spark fires of biblical proportions that only a Rainmaker from heaven can quench.
