Bette Bavington Poet Villanelle

Are You a New Recruit

Turn pirate
Or walk the plank?
It's yes or no mate.
If it's yes we celebrate
No it's in to the water you go. I am just
Being frank.
Turn pirate
Nothing is inappropriate
After all we drank.
It's yes or no mate.
We get to keep everything we confiscate
So you'll have gold hidden away in a so 
Called bank.
Turn pirate
Your illiterate
You'll fit right in to be point blank.
It's yes or no mate.
Gus you ol reprobate
Aye Captain. Welcome aboard we sail at
Dawn for the west bank.
Turn pirate
It's yes or no mate.

Lyric Man June 28, 2018 at 5:24 AM Bette.. I enjoyed reading your work this morning. You're a gifted writer! Bette Bavington June 28, 2018 at 10:44 AM Thank you. I went to your site. I read Lying Eve. I wasn't happy about some one taking some one else's work. You called them out with finesse. It wouldn't let me validate. So I figured I would let you know this way. Thank you again for visiting my site.
