Caribbean Seawolf Poet Ballad

Cap'N and the Wench -Part the Fifth-

Cap'n & the Wench  *part the fifth*

Says the Wench to the Cap'n " We'll dabble in Real Estate!" 
So says the Cap'n to the Wench " 'Twould seem 'tis our Fate!

As Tales are often Told from Time to Time & Again~ 
So doth it go twixt Wenches & those very Bold Men~

This Great Saga of the Cap'n & that Wench so Very Dear~ 
Had been begun then to continue Year after ever Year~
But all Sailors well know if'n they've oft Smartly Tacked~ 
Yer in Irons fer certain if'n yer Royals are Backed~

Makin' speed astern would allow such One chance to Box~ 
Mindin' Gales gone a'lee creatin' Naught but Fear~ 
Only a keen SeaWolf might again Sail as would the Fox~ 
All surely believin' his Great Ship could naught but Wear~

'Twould be a course destined by Fate were the Helm hard a'Lee~
Maidens of the Depths gatherin' as Winds did'st now Howl~ 
Yet t'was a plot laid by SeaWolf as his heart Set him Free~ 
For Great Winds & Waves now did'st appear & Truly Growl~

From Deep Down under this Tormented Surface~ 
Came now to the ears of all Those now Enraged~ 
Softly with Empathy & Fanciful Purpose~ 
Silent Sounds heard well ~ all distinct Reason had Swayed~

Lee Rail's buried beneath Wind Torn Sea~ 
Gale a Howlin' thru the Riggin' & Spars~ 
From SeaWolf nary a word nor any Certain Plea~ 
His Eyes & that 'sprit a'fixed on Far Stars~

This Tale oft whispered in Taverns & Pits....... 
Ye'll hear it fer certain Bit by little Bit..... 
Pay Heed to Lessons Learned thus Herein..... 
'Twere it to be Pleazure in life yer Truly to Win~

For Never Again Will Be Seen that Great Ship at Sea~ 
Only possibly for some who truly Set themselves Free~ 
In Dream Foggy Nights fiesty with Calm Swells~ 
Listen Well off in the distance for that Great Ships Bell!

SeaWolf

Elizabeth Wesley July 19, 2011 at 9:25 PM I've read all 5 of this amazing saga and think it is just brilliant. Wonderful pictures for the mind to play with and your impeccable rhyme makes this a superb read. Caribbean Seawolf May 2, 2012 at 8:35 PM That... the reading of the entire affair... was a feat worthy of compliment in and of itself . But your longstanding bias as to mine own ramblings rantings & ravings o'me pen has of all been most pleazurable. Oh yep to be certain... 'twas a fun thing to put together one fine night's moon... Caribbean Seawolf July 20, 2011 at 11:11 PM Merci... you sail your ship of Tenacity quite well.
