Allan Terry Poet Ballade

Pannhaas Part Two

There along the coast the harbor
where the tresure
is said to be.
How do you know this said one brave sailor.
The Captain smiled and said
one of Casears men was aboard the ship
that ran ashore to be sunkened
with tresure abound.
The sailor then said Captain my Captain
how than are we to retreive should plentiful harvest.
The Captain grinned and walked away.
Once on the shore
they saw the image that was promised them a ship
sank but visible enough
to see and even near.
At low tide we shall be able to see the tresure
Hail Casear that he is great!
Said the Captain. They dressed down and jumped in
grabbing trunks and jars
and the large pottery.
They sat opening the lute.
Gold and silks.
They had found the ship that they were ppromised to find.
They packed up and set sail for home.
On the way home they saw a ship in the distance
the ship came closer, and closer and suddenly
they were close enough to talk
with out yelling.
Permission tyo board Captain.
The Captain denied the first request until he got the name of the ship
and the Captains name.
The enproaching Captain asked the Captain to come abord for supper,
The Roman Captain asked might supper
be sent to his ship. They agreed and before the sun sat
they sat on two ships eating
in conversation.
They agreed to both be on there way at dawn
and to have the enving together for
fun and activities.
Moring came and members of the crew
who had not taken part in the activies of the previous evening
had taken command until the Captain woke.
They waited and waited and finally at about noon
they looked in on the Captain
and the tresure
gone both were gone. They asked the Captain of the ship along side them
where was there Captain?
The Captain said a sea Creature
had swallowed him and members
of the crew
and they were lost forever.
He held his hat in hius hand
and talked of the fight they had put up against the sea creature.
Scylla, he said his name was, a six headed sea creature,
he dared not to destroy Casears ship might Casear extract revenge upon him.
Tell the people of Rome that the Captain was a hero and he fought Heroicly, on to Rome my freind
that all is lost. They took up anchor and sailed away.
