I courted a British lady
Whose name was Sadie O'Grady
She took off her drawers
I exclaimed ‘Oh good lord!’
You sure ain’t no LADY, matey!...

I once knew a pirate named Grady
I attended his birthday in Haiti
He flew into a rage
When I asked him his age
But his only reply was "Aye Matey"...

When traffic is flowing at eighty,
that pedal had better get weighty.
And in case you don’t know
it's unsafe to go slow,
so get in the right lane there, matey!...

Once upon a time a pirate limped by
"How old are you?", I then asked with a sigh
What he said was good
But misunderstood
"Aye matey, you need not know!", his reply...

Once lived a gorgeous young lady
Whose past was a wee bit shady
A reputation quite naughty
Described as quite bawdy
Grabbed my attention as well as my matey...

Have a confession to make sweet young ladies
Been cheating with a bunch of other cute daisies
I've spread me too thin
Quite a pickle I'm in
Done serious damage to my precious wee matey...

I've just been told to be an adult around here
My answer is why feel like an old-time buccaneer
Wielding my sword
Hey matey climb aboard
Sail the seas wreaking havoc, sweet lassies to share...

had

to last me 
a lifetime matey,

so do not stand in there,the warm,key so handy, open the bloody gate! Oh no rain!...

Now that I know he's a male, not some lady
Hope Lindsay's aware of the wrath of this matey
He'll rue the day
“Quite a dag”, he did say
He has no idea the strength of this dude of eighty

I don't like to read
Sleeping and dreaming
Good for my mind's health
Sometimes, write to check
The self how far apt

Don't insist me
To join the group
Of the contest
To be matey

I'll approach 
By nature
Poetry

The earth
The heart

I chanced on a lady in waiting,
That kissed me.
And called me Baby.
"I say, hey,
It's a mistake, Lady.
You can kiss me Again,
But Your Husband,
Is Me, Matey...Baby.



Luv Ya Son.
CVN 72, Thank You.
That's Abe Lincoln, Matey.

"Granny let's go"
With gusto said
"Below . . . basement"

"Gran first placement"
His statement rang
Payment. . . safety

He said bravely
. . . "hastily come,
Matey"  if . . . scream 

Fill in the ellips
line three...for
line six...his
line seven...I'll
line eight...you...

Run Aground

Arr, Matey! Me ship has run aground,
In this shallow world, I search for character, but none to be found.
Through me spyglass, a foggy, distant world, unclear,
This incessant devil bird squawking in me ear.
A chest full of silver, gold, and jewels galore,
But what I treasure most is a love forevermore....

Couldn’t leave yet,
One of them that I’d met 
Moaning and screaming,
It feels like they’re dreaming.
Needed again,
Glad to give a refrain
But I’m now nearly eighty,
Active still though, matey.
Couldn’t say no,
Knocked up, asked not to go,
Help this doc has displayed,
Over this whole charade.
Me retired so I’ll roam
Exhausted, I want home!...

Once, twice, three times lately
Strength, I felt it
it's here to stay matey,
A direct question
chance of a straight answer?
I am that brave
I won't grow cancer.
Do you know?
if doubt prevails
I'll set my sails
It's then obvious
there's no chance for us.
I've given sincerely
created
deflated
changes
remain with us.
where are you going?

Far away.


I wanted you to stay....

Argh!  Matey, now it's time for you 
To take a little walk. 

You see that plank, off of the side?
Now walk the walk you talk!  

A pirate you have always been
And should have came to be

But, then you crossed the meanest one...
That pirate crossed, was me!

Now, step up to that plank out there..
You fate..awaits for you. 

For when a pirate crosses me...
They walk that same plank too!...

Briny tis vast bethrong
Balsam swept windsong
Droplets align brusque seas
Sailors beware perilous lees

Fickle fathoms she weeps
Discorded notion steeps
Coquet tempest squall 
Bounden to celestial call

Sail me matey, harness rein
Envious tis sodden domain
Cast to enchanted sea
Foolhardy, thou may be

Hasten to landlubber true
By chance nary pines you
Submerged in foamy cascade
 Seawaters tis possessive maid...

Morning

The morning fog lifts like a veil:
a slow lightening of the night.
She can just make out, 
through the haze,
an outline of a tree -
another, and another - 
And soon a forest appears,
and she hears a bird peeping
and she sees a skeleton boat
anchored just off the north
of the island
And the pirate is screaming
“She’ll be right matey!”
“Down with the hoist.”
It’s going to be a sunny day,
A good day for washing....
