Captain Job Terry

Don’t you know Job Terry? I thought everybody knew Job Terry My name is Captain Job Terry, my people from Kerry But I a Poughkeepsie Celt. I make a dashing impression, Held down the whaling profession For at least two score or more. I’ve worked the coast like a rambler Broke bread with Governors and gamblers, Courted princesses and prostitutes to boot, I’ve rubbed elbows with them all Just name any Port of Call. My name is Captain Job Terry. Don’t you know Job Terry? I thought everybody knew Job Terry

Well, Stephen Barry, I like Captain Job Terry! Great imagination and an enjoyable read. Oh, I think you wanted 'elbows', not 'elbow.' Truly a fun poem ... CayCay
