thought i’d share
The ship and its cargo
went west by sea
commissioned to embargo
privateers booty
Across the vast blue seas it went,
on the mission its owner had sent
battles aplenty on way to the shore
cannons firing from starboard and more
But then time did come – fate dealt her hand
and captain of ship did not know what was planned
as wind turned around, pushed ship way off its course
and captain yelled orders until he was hoarse
The wind played its part in this true sorry tale
as sails pulled ship westward – “Land Ahoy!” crew did hail
but instead of pulling ship, to nearest dock
it made it collide with a gigantic rock
The ship it did limp – into a cove
and locals there living – did yell – “well by jove”
as they gave board and lodgings to captain and crew
who paid with the cargo – for their bedding and brews.And as for the ship – in its sorriest state
It lay beached in the sand – whilst for repair it did wait

but time it moved on – and the sea did move in
who it buried in the sand of the cove for its kin.
