Don't refuse to go on an occasional wild goose chase - that's what wild geese are for.~Unknown



CAN YOU SWIM?!

Run away, run away, run away with me!
To an isle so remote, across the turquoise sea
Our ship is waiting by the pier... provisions I did pack
I tricked some pirates by the shore...their pantry I ransacked!

Run away, run away, run away with me!
My actions were impulsive, and a bit greedy!
I knew they'd just come from a raid, their hull filled to the brim
So I just BORROWED, gold and jewels...on an impulsive whim!

By the way, I should say, this ships not REALLY mine!
But is she not a BEAUTY? We'll fly from this coastline!!
Those pirate thugs are wasted, on Puerto Rican Rum
Their snores could wake the angels, or pierce some poor ear drum!

By the way, do you pray?
Yes, I hope that you do!!!
Please ask the Lord in heaven to teach me something new!
I've never manned the helm before, I'm virgin to this trade
But I'm a bold and cheeky soul, whose not a lick afraid!

By the way, did you see, those torches on the shore?
Seems a mob is rushing, upon our ship at moor!
Those pirates are all sobered up, and they look mad as hell!!
I feel my courage slipping, LETS BID THIS JAUNT FAREWELL!!

By the way, may I ask, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SWIM??
This sport I've never mastered...But now I shall BEGIN!!
So dear friend, don't blame ME, for this fine mess we're in!!
Your arm I did not have to twist! So stew in your own sins!!
