<i>Written for my story-loving brother-in-law, Rudius</i><br> |
|||
<blockquote><br> |
|||
Lift up your glasses and slurp down your ale,<br> |
|||
While I share with you, friends, a most terrible tale!<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
Now Jack's been a pirate for many a year.<br> |
|||
He's sailed with the best- rode the waves without fear;<br> |
|||
But there's one thing that makes the lad quiver and hide,<br> |
|||
And that's jolly old Mary, Jack's salty old bride!<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
Well, Mary has known that her man was a snake,<br> |
|||
A debauched, drunken sot and a nasty old rake.<br> |
|||
How her parents would weep if they'd lived long to see<br> |
|||
The insulting, mean rotter Jack'd turned out to be!<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
Jack went to sea, with a mighty fine crew,<br> |
|||
Leaving poor Mary home to mutter and stew,<br> |
|||
'Bout the years that she'd laboured to provide a fine home,<br> |
|||
While that bastage went to sea to pillage and roam!<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
Jack arrived back, peg leg moving REAL slow,<br> |
|||
Duffel bag dragging. He didn't want to go,<br> |
|||
Just to listen to Mary who'd harp ON and ON<br> |
|||
About where he had been and how long he'd been gone!<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
The first thing Jack noticed was the cottage all dark.<br> |
|||
Not a lantern was lit. There was nary a spark.<br> |
|||
No warm light poured forth. No smoke rose from the flue.<br> |
|||
So Jack took a deep breath while anxiety grew.<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
His hand shook, his heart beat a tune in his chest.<br> |
|||
In all of their years, Mary'd not took a rest<br> |
|||
From screeching and hollering- loud as she could<br> |
|||
About keelhauling pirates, who'd been up to no good!<br> |
|||
His torch shone, but light fell on a big empty room.<br> |
|||
The chairs were all gone- it was still as a tomb.<br> |
|||
Jack paced through the house, but found nothing but dust.<br> |
|||
What had happened to Mary??;Find out he must!<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
Well, while Jackie pondered, far away on a beach<br> |
|||
Sat Mary and Armand, from the King's mighty fleet!<br> |
|||
They snuggled and cooed, kissed while passing the time,<br> |
|||
As they waited for snacks and a flagon of wine.<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
What Jack never learned applies to us, too.<br> |
|||
If you don't treat your love well, your love won't be true!<br> |
|||
You will end up with pub food for years without end,<br> |
|||
And that mangy ole parrot will be your sole friend!<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
And, good friends, one more lesson to learn from this song:<br> |
|||
If your pirate comes back but doesn't stay long,<br> |
|||
And upon each return sits all day and drinks beer,<br> |
|||
And the kids 'aven't seen 'em in many a year...<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
Go find a new love with humor and grace,<br> |
|||
A very tight bottom, and who makes your heart race,<br> |
|||
Leave your sad pirate to parrots and treasure,<br> |
|||
And run off with someone who will love without measure! |
|||
