Phantom

POEM "PHANTOM" by martin gedge All aboard the captains swell a voyage set to sea the dead that ride this vessel hell will rise with the debris to walk the plank into this tank and rake the ocean floor to flesh upon yon treasures beach as bodies lie the shore with tooth & nail the devils tale was sworn upon the flag to jolly toast a Satan ghost and every scallywag to swab the deck of every wreck and let the anchors weigh we raise the cheer and drunken steer until the black of day shall sink the teeth into the drink and scar each sailors skin to peel the clutch of life so much and let the death set in a bounty's gold that will unfold to each we will demise to take the gin right to the grin to poke between the eyes so light a flame to red the rain and sit upon the throne to wait to dock this pirate rock and raise the skull and bone for it be me to flush the sea and haunt the common clan to seal your doom and drown the tomb leagues beneath the sand... by martin gedge ©
