Hoodoo Sea

Capt'n Jack ‘ere and dead I be drowned in the Hoodoo Sea. Fire lit the sky as we sailed by not far from Bim’ni. Dey say ders nothin’ strange out der off de coast of Bim’ni. But dey’v naught seen de ‘alf of it de compass spinnin’ free. Columbus sawr it too dey say or so ‘is log records. A blindin’ light, a fire ball stunn’d all of de yeo men on board. Some say it were a meteor some ‘allucination Others say it’s a mystery yarn'd by lower stations. Dey say ders nothin’ strange out der Off de coast of Bim’ni But dey’v naught seen de ‘alf of it De compass spinnin’ free Fishermen ‘ere ‘ave der own lore and say ‘ere monsters be. Some name the dev’ls triangle I calls it Hoodoo sea.... *The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle brought to you by Capt'n Jack please feel free to write me music!

Deb, ye 'ad me bustin' my seams readin' this tale of Capt'n Jack and the Bermuda Triangle. And there is something out there off the coast of Bimini -- the Bimini Road -- which has yet to be explained by anyone and thought to have been a road in the lost continent of Atlantis. Great humor here. Did you kow the "Dragon's Triangle" is exactly on the opposite side of the globe from the "Devil's Triangle"? Congratulations on your win in the mystery contest. Love, Carolyn
