The Smuggler

I want to talk of days of old and a story that was never told and I will tell you this story is true and here it is without further adue many trips I moved green bales from the keys on my coast guard cutter called "cherokee" I smuggled marijuana right under their noses In the bilge and around the hoses many years I did it without a hitch then in hurricane Hugo the ship started to pitch next thing was the port engine blew and how it happened nobody knew a fire broke out and the sparks did fly and with all the smoke my shipmates got high! hard putting fire out down on our knees couldn't see a damn thing we all looked chinese! then when all the smoke did clear from his cabin the captain did appear he was very angry it was easy to see his investigation pointed the finger at me so this is how my career was bludgeoned but in low places I became a legend even though I saved lives in the perfect storm I was just a scallywag in a coast guard uniform By Captain Mike ps I come from the seas of pirates and drug runners but now I fish cause I thinks it's funner!
