The Buccaneer and the Dolphin
There is an adventure to be written
From my perch where I be sitting
Two characters my imagination see
A relationship story to be told late in the day over tea
There is an honest buccaneer
Nothing much to fear
Gaining power sipping Busch beer
Relaxing in a garden
Thinking doing some smart-in
Watching six flags blowing
Trying to figure out where life was going
Decided in a split second
It was time to do a little networking checking
Headed east
To visit a peaceful sea monster beast
When he arrived
In land to where there were no tides
Not even any rides
A crystal placid lake
Tranquil simplicity quietly told the buccaneer ‘five to take’
Suddenly, appearing a kind fellow
Swimming around very mellow
Turning the buccaneer attitude fluffy and gel low
Raising a fin “hello”
Followed his water spout letting one flow
This made the buccaneer let out a joyful laugh
Knowing the peaceful creature was enjoying a lifelong bath
“My dolphin friend
I must ask you to defend
When is this social distancing going to end?”
And a fish emerged from the water to perform a flip
Well trained since it is written in the script
“My buccaneer friend I know you are above me
When we travel the seven seas
We work together
Dealing with nasty weather
Clearing up letting the sun come out
Giving us something to talk about
My forecast it will be soon
Allowing us to communicate under an enchanting moon”
In a friendly way the dolphin mentioned
Getting the buccaneers attention
“Land ho
I must go
Back to the west
To do my best
Eating bread
Have enough to be fed
Until again we meet
It will be my treat
A rare steak
Cooked the way I make”
Saying what he meant
Without any resent
A trip back the buccaneer did
To a six pack in the garden where he hid
Until the day
When all the masks are put away
Smiling will return
To faces which once had a look of concern
