Weather
beaten cap'n,
and watertight
bewitched craft
time
tested since
maiden voyage
(circum
navigating
the globe
back in
the day
of my youth),
I ranked
tough as
a pitbull,
when
severely pitted
against
raw elements
of swiftly
tailored,
harried
stylish nature
against
leathery faced
reptilian skin,
hard drinking
(actually
as corked
poetic convenience -
vermouth
arbitrary
bottle of choice
if for no
other reason,
than
to rhyme
with the
above line),
and tobacco
spitting, while
colorfully
swearing
as an uncouth
Furies
(of Agamemnon)
fighting (tooth
and nail)
Pirate,
where
rickets, scurvy,
and thrice
unconscious,
currently
ample proof
could
not forsooth
bring me to
Davy
Jones's locker,
cuz I
never wanna
get relegated
to an
underwater
whale
schooled booth,
this raconteur
can nonchalantly,
glibly, and
blithely attest,
with
braggadocio,
despite
no warm
welcome will
ever greet
mine tinnitus
pained ears,
I can plainly
imagine
acrimonious
retort
upon
me behest
his far
more'n lifetime
bobbing
(like a sponge)
buoyed
atop crest
longing e'en for
(carping,
caviling,
hen pecking,
or shrewish)
wife,
and
loving family
forsaken,
sans living
antisocial
upon briny
deep divest
many
opportunities to
experience
wedded,
webbed
and
whirled bliss,
and hence
for everest
as bachelor,
especially
at present junction
of twi
light years,
my crude
manners
makes
foreign (for
an) ill
suited guest
boot e'en
if yours truly
became
inured
to life
on land,
(as a
"FAKE"
father figure
feathering
his nest
my coarse
behavior,
as basic
electric
koolaid
acid test
would
force even
the most
tolerant
proprietor,
perhaps
a bank
manager
at Univest
would utter
VAMOOSE,
e'en if
eye
covered up
my heavily
pierced,
and
tattooed breast.
