Nothing like watching a good "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie on a Sunday afternoon.

I was watching
The television 
When I Noticed
A clip
 
Of Captain
Jack Sparrow 
All alone
On his ship
 
He was guzzling
His rum
And continued
To drink
 
When his Black
Pearl ship 
Had started
To sink
 
He slurred
And he swaggered 
From all
That he drank
 
Then he said 
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow 
I'll now
Walk the plank"
 
Hands tied
And blind folded 
As he sank
To the bottom

He was rescued
By a mermaid 
When she swam
And she got him
 
She left him
On the shore 
Where his journey
Had begun
  
When he drank
To his fate 
With his bottle 
Of rum

Love it, Charles! So glad the mermaid rescued him and hopefully, Captain Jack Sparrow learned a valuable lesson and changed his life from drunk to sober. All the best to you. Keep 'em flowin'! :) ~ Artsie
