Dream Wench Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Tied in knots just below the deck a giant rope around his neck his nerve are jangled he's a wreck he feels he can't get out The rats could gnaw and set him free but his head is resting upon his knee he calls the jailer "heed my plea" but she never hears him shout "Wash the water from the sand hang my broken heart from the mast" he sings a delerious love song 'cos he's living in the past The pelican gives him the "hairy peeper" and calls him an "old side eye" "Damn my sox and curse your feathers I think it's time to die" The pelican brings him a cutlass and a little bit o grog the ship and dock are hidden now both covered up with fog The pelican leads him up the ladder one slow step at a time our captive now released and free struggles with his climb His jailer lies upon her bed but shes nothing more than bones he knows the ship is out to sea and so he sits and moans The pelican then goes over the side to catch them both some fish our hero sets the table with a tankard and a dish His jailer walks into the galley and licks her lipless lips she reaches for her cutlass but finds two bony hips The three of them are quite adrift and oh the ship is slow But fate steps in as fate does at times and sends a UFO The aliens watch the pelican move his well honed beady eyes from one side to the other beneath the starry skies Our captive hugs his skeleton girl as the alien scratches his chin how did I come up with this crazy poem ? and when did it begin ?
