A Pirate's Life For Me
June 12, 2017
I hoped to strike silver
With my calcium-crusted
Shovels
Inside of a king's cake on the
Table.
Instead I became a diver
Finally finding Blackbeard's
Mystery.
Jewels; pearl necklaces; gold coins!
All these and more. Under this
Tiny red-shingled roof
A treasure was hid!
I always see the fishermen in
Their green rubber boots
Slumbering by their bobbing rods;
But i never saw a bait box.
Is it I then? They bait me
With the hidden riches
Of their past legacy
To understand the unknown;
to drown on jewels of old yore!
