Son

Addendum to rhyme of an ancient mariner. Thirteen men on a dead man’s ship Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Drink and the devil have done for the rest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Skull and crossbones upon my chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Guts and gore and a bloody mess Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum a price be put upon my head Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Shot through the heart and I be blessed Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Gone to bury a treasure chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Sworn to an oath of blood and piss Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Take the secret to my death Yo ho ho and a bottom of rum Last man standing is the best Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

A fine Ode. Memories of Coleridge's poem come back. I really enjoyed the poem. Fine lyric
