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.

I LOVED this!  The title drew me in, but the verse left me grinning like an idiot.  Maybe not a pirate yet, but close enough.
