I noticed a contest here about one ofmy favorite celt *heros* pirates, Captain Henry Morgan, but the style wanted for the competition did not include sonnets, and that is what I write in, so here is one I alwready did a coupla years ago, I think I wrote about 5 about this bloodthirsty pirate, whom I am only guessing might even have been a distant relative via the Arbuthnots. doing a little checking into that, there seems to be a paper trail going there... if anyone has any information or date, I would appreciate reading it.

MUTINY ON THE SPANISH MAIN Avast ye scum, ye've backed me to the wall and evil's all I see there in yer eyes; but I won't hesitate to meet the call to fight if I must fight, so realize that what yer comin to is yer own choice to spend the rest of life, because of me, just swingin in the wind, if I've a voice the king will listen to, tho dead I be. Altho a tyrant, he still makes yer way and feeds the whores you want so much to see so let's remember where we are today so's we can get to where we want to be. Lay down yer arms, ye've got a Judas here, and he's the greatest thing ye've got to fear. © RON WILSON ARBUTHNOT aka Vee Bdosa the Doylestown poet
