A Pirates Life





when I  was as young
I  ended my first  romance
walking into the sea
walking out of the sea

benbow roving
bell bow  wrenching
at company with life  living freemen
never ending pirates 
pirates  pages
pirate  type

Away to sailors  Main  
tall and a master
billows 
splinters
gurdy fiddles 

lost my yester clothes  to a  garb  silk voyager
intaglio magnifico  
napes a noodle


cabin  over the head
head  on the spit
spit in the eye

rolling  'rahing
hanging peg patch
Hook and Captain Hand

all gentlemen  in dogs  
looking like a poor  cat artists chalky

all gentlemen in drakes
seven quests  for  Freuds  Fiends and Enemies 
who insulted his saintly mother
and made him dream  of beetles

made  him bug to ventures
crew  dentist,  cake baker  and window makers   in a crack carrack galleass
passing from the ungunned kings ship  "Tubby Worry"   
modernized to private  enterprise and criminalities
good ship  "Bonny Bloody and more  Bloody"
just call it the Bloody
 some thrill  in saying the ship!
walk the  deck saying the ship!
