On The High Sea

Amidst salty waves of white brine
Marque in hand and freedom mine.
Else to hang from low alder's branch,
where dead men tell no tales, matey.

"Jolly Roger!", crow's nest gives heed.
See bloodshot eyes, holding the greed
Hourglass turns, no time to spare.
The fear taking it's toll in moments.

Reckless abandon, cutlass high,
aboard the ship, the wood a'cry
with treasure and pilferer's moans,
the bonny blue has yet lain claim to.
