Phyllis Babcock Poet Rhyme

Pirate of the Sea

He sailed the seven seas
said just let our ship be
we'll drink our ale and rum
sail until our days are done

We drank barrels and barrels of rum
drank until sick and our bodies done
poison now running in our veins
drunken we did not get up again

Over time we became a pile of bones
Davey Jones locker now called home
once a pirate on the seven sea
all the drinking was the death of me.

I hope things are getting better for you now - my mum's hardly eating or drinking, but the dr said it's just to be expected Phyllis Babcock July 9, 2024 at 11:54 AM Thanks for your comment and hope you both are doing oikay. It is a hard thing to see our parents slowly fade away. I still have moments where I get tears and sure miss mom a lot. love phyl

Sara Kendrick May 6, 2024 at 12:14 PM Good one. I enjoyed the humor that is really not funny as so many people in life are really killing their bodies with the use of alcohol or other kinds of drugs. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K Phyllis Babcock May 10, 2024 at 10:18 AM Thanks for your comment Sara.
