The Life of a land locked pirate. When I was only three I wanted be a pirate, So I went and asked my mother, She said I could if I wanted to aspire for that, But you see I have a problem, That effects my whole career, Something which I can’t condemn, because I am a buccaneer, I’m a land locked pirate, I cannot see the sea, When I’m enterprising private, A pirate I can’t be, I live deep in the Midlands, All I can manage is a lake, I want to see foreign lands, Instead of a cutlass I have a rake, I wanted my own boat one day, So that I could rule the seven seas, Something that could sail away, So that I cannot see the trees, All I can afford right now, Is a plastic toy, One day I’ll have a real one somehow, Something I might enjoy, I am a landlocked pirate, I rule the local park, I get the parents irate, When I run round in the dark, I am a one man enterprise, I’m no black beard lets make that clear, I’ll board your ship, watch you’re surprise, I’m a fearless, land locked buccaneer. Err well yes... I just had this vision the other day of a guy on a pond... I hope you find it well... humourous... It's not even trying to be serious really... by the way if anyone is a land locked pirate and is deeply offended I would be more than happy to counsel them.

So put on your patch, shred your clothes, hop on a little boat, and go sailin' in that lake! Haven't you ever played pretend? Seriously though, this was a cool poem. Glad to have read it. Back in 97 we burned our own souls in the midst of poverty. Never learned how to keep anything clean. |
