Just grab a seat on that stump lad, and I'll take centre stage, 
With a yarn about a small brown donk, and a lad about your age.

Money, we all need it
Money, we all want it
The root of all evil
Many people will lie for it, die for it

Got faces of Kings and Queens and great people
When you get...

Man I'm still standing & demanding though demand is drained
You can look in from outside see but not feel the pain

A matey retrieved it by scouting around
The pirate ship captain made sure that I knew
That me and my booty could stay with the crew

To all the dear...

But the Cap'n told me to hoist the Jolly Roger.

You lay in the surf waiting for me
Although Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr we could not be.
Trying at love with the incoming tide
Kelp and seaweed stuck to my side.

"Great gods", thought I, as I wrote...

"Strangely"

Withdrawals getting shaky
I can't think or see straightly
I'll stay stuck or I'll break free
They thought I was just being shady
It made me
Or was able to break me
A change in me
Or still the same me

Solemnly sixth is Goodness known by few who with God do share,
Costly fine and desired is its colour that being of gold so weighty,
Despite its heaviness it has a softness not usual and very rare,
It’s...

The monster sighed and shook his head
And in his booming voice he said,

Ahoy there matey, I pirate I be
and out on the ocean
is where I roam free.

With the wind on me back
and me flag that be black.
I fly it so high

He stands upon the salty,slippery deck,
Yelling yaargh matey ,
with a halfhearted pirate drawl.
He's not to impressed with himself,
not an eyepatch or wooden leg,
not even a hooked claw.
The parrot on his shoulder,
is a wannabee,
a sparrow that...

The men have been taken prisoner where they eat gruel.
They are looking for a pirate queen, a strong minded wench.

blurred by envy to need a mental monocle.
she burns in such deadly blast
not to realize the soul already promulgate itself
to the better one.

I stole this poem
with cutlass and eyes
words lusted and trusted 
so I took of this prize

sailing 'cross bleached pages
under azure blue...

Guarantees you a slap, there matey

Why is it so hard for women to find men

It's 4:30am and I can't sleep,
the sheep leap and lay in a heap,

lets just freestyle this rhyme and see where it goes,

It is a place along the coat that has mild rainfall in winters in summers...
