I’ll black me boots, and block me hat- Alas, it seems I’m old and fat. The years I’ve known all take their toll- And yet my tales do seem quite droll… A dram or two, an’ wi’ out fail- I’m like to spin a Traveler’s Tale. Do ye ken young Lord Loch’nivar? Wha’ stole the lass and fled afar? Now, mate, the lad could use a blade! An’ “faith”! ‘e knew the fightin’ trade. An ‘orse, an ‘orse, and a guid blade- Necessities to ply me trade. What trade be that? Dost thou inquire- Why, lad, a fightin’ man fer hire! An’ Walter Raleigh? What a rake! I let ‘im live fer ‘er ‘ighness’ sake. Now, Nelson? Ah, more to my taste- ‘e died at sea, My, what a waste. Lord Admiral of bold England’s fleet- The mon ‘ad never known defeat. Fergive me, if I ramble on- Of ports I’ve seen, an’ folk I’ve known.. Wi’ age they says the minds do fail… I live wi’ in me Traveler’s Tales. < !signature--> Visit My Home Page http://www.geocities.com/montcogunslinger/HomePage.html [This message has been edited by Gunslinger (edited 03-13-2000).] |

I'll never tire of reading about your traveler's tales. Imagination at its finest. Well done, gs. (er, would that be England's fleet instead of feet? Not that it matters....)  |
