THE DRINK


THE DRINK

I noticed your cute wink
it surely made me think
what a fine cabinboy toy
hanging off the last buoy

jaws and jellyfish circling
as soon you'll be gurgling
so should I risk a rescue
or lose to fate and adieu

a shame, expensive boy
drinking with old salt joy
drowning every red cent
now's that a merriment?

I started to ask the crew
what to think about you
but their bets on a shark
aim! fire! douse the mark

glass-eye, pegleg, a gin
you're always gonna sin
and give me a hard time
with salty limerick chime

I have thought about us
jimbeau...now don't cuss
but I think it'd always be
bail or a bailing, ya see?

BEHAVE! I'm busy packing!)
