Me ship has set sail 'er course has been charted .
It's too late to bail the seas have been parted .
Make thee way Davy Jones I'm comin' on through ,
me butt has been scuttled , 'tis sad but it's true .

" Avarst ye land-lubbers , who'll come sail with me
to search fer the treasure that's rumored to be ? "
A fools quest fer sure if ye want the straight scoop .
Step lively there matey , watch out for the poop

deck of cards in me pocket , aye a full deck .
We're all jokers wild on this ship I'd suspect ,
if lady luck's willin' there's riches in store
more than ye can spend in three life-times or four !

Me ship is a grand one she's built solid through
'er sails are fer fun an' 'er compass is true .
One oar in the water is all that she needs .
It's trouble behind lads we're pickin' up speed !

Belay thet thar jib lad and buckle yer swarsh .
Leave thet hangin' out an' it jest might get squarshed .
We's off on a search fer the " coin of the realm "
this ship full of fools with no one at the helm .

And what be this " coin of the realm " ye might ask
'twould cause one to make up this story to bask
in spite of their problems now lessened ten-fold
enlightened by laughter not weighed down by gold ?

Ye've answered yerself lad , I'll meet ye at sea ,
a poor man enrichened by 'is poetry .

DrMoose~

A catching little tale o' the sea~

'We's off on a search fer the " coin of the realm "
this ship full of fools ****with no one at the helm. (????)

And what be this " coin of the realm " ye might ask
'twould cause one to make up this story to bask
in spite of their problems now lessened ten-fold
enlightened by laughter not weighed down by gold ?

Ye've answered yerself lad , I'll meet ye at sea ,
a poor man enrichened by 'is poetry.'


****But, but ... the good Captain Ron IS at the helm ! !  Honest ! !

Delightful to read aloud !
