Arrrs Poetica

Do I take your meaning?
Aye, indeed I do.
I seize upon your flag ship
And run its captain through
While I leave your colors flying
That the sight of me looks true,
Fine wines, like swill I guzzle,
Hoarded cheeses gouge and chew,
And the purity you treasure
Is a tart now for my crew.

A vast sea we see before us
As I sail your ship away.
We're now knots away from your meaning,
Many nots away from your meaning.
Only naught remains of your meaning.


Tomorrow is national Talk Like a Pirate day. A little something to set the mood.

RC, I have been by the shop several times and your house twice , but no problem I have needed some quality time with myself.

For some reason I am reminded of this story told by Omar Khayyam or was it Barrack Obama :

The camel driver he had hire and had joined the caravan  a month ago and on this certain day, came to Omar for his pay. Omar hadn’t sold a rubaiyat for some time and was quite broke and the feds were not cracking. But, Omar being the rubaiyater he was, looked to the west and pointed so, and told his driver . “When the sun rises out  of yon aurora I will compensate the for thy labor. “

With those fifteen words Omar bought himself another month of camel driving  and he smiled as he thought  about the other points of direction . He knew that the camel driver was unarmed and had no idea where the sun rises. That condition is called~ desert fever~ I know I had it once.
