The Narrow Squeak Show Chapter 3

Now, I am back! Walking through.......... A little place called Iraq Steeped in history too Such friendly people too! Twice I avoided Blue on blue! My bowels voided! Now, I am thinking........... Does the bullet charm still work? I think it did quite well......... No matter what they tried I couldn't get to the "otherside"! The desert is not for me So I was thinking............ Maybe a journey........ On the sea? Well blow me away! Just my luck! This time not a train........... but a bleeding hurricane! Not quite what I wanted on my holiday! Hey ho! Its only wind It can't take hold You cant see it,so it cant kill you So I am told! Now,I am thinking.......... It's only a blip! Whats that on the horizon? Damn! A flag with bones on... Its a pirate ship! What a welcome I got! I got caught! Never did get shot! Fine fellows I am all for a sailors lot! Damn! They put me ashore at the nearest port! Was it something I said? I left them crying over their rum........... Muttering something about feeling glum It all came to a head When I asked them about their mum! Still ,life is on the up and up Half full Not half empty is my cup! I still have my bullet charm After the hurricane and sea.......... Worn down a little more Back on land! To start chapter four!
