Blackbeard's Secret
Laughing she told me of her
Lack of interest in him
She spoke candidly of him
As a means of being creating
Need to be wanted.
He suffers from his inability to
Be Aro sed and she exploited
Of every moment of it.
Her freind was a seamstress,
Who's husband was a goldsmith.
He had freinds who were pirates
Who bought treasures in to
The creek. They often stayed on
Board because there accent gave
Them away. Edward Teach became
Interested in her, this time she wished
Him to make her pregnant. She and 29
Others wished to have his children in
Secret fooling there aging husband's
Keeping the secret of treasure and
Infidelity. The secret of :"Blackbeard".
Peasents and slaves will belong to
His eternity, and the wealthiest woman
In town she too has agreed, to make the
Name Blackbeard the secret of our era!
"Might love find beneath this pirate
To fool my mister and all that hold
Such truths dear!" This said by lanterns
Light beneath this wretched scum.
