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.

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
