MUTINEERS’ TALE

Just a mutineers tale

ARGH!!…Mutiny sees I!!

With my unpatched eye!

Our wages slashed again,

While the Captain’s entertained!

Five women in his Chambers

While we best these stormy weathers!

MUTINY I see! I see MUTINY!

 

AYE!!…Mutiny feels I!!

On my unbathed skin!

Rum neigh locked away,

While the Captain’s high on gin!

Drunk into a stupor

As we wait as does a suitor!

MUTINY I feel! I feel MUTINY!

 

UGH!!…Mutiny tastes I!

With my drying tongue!

‘Tates and Fish ev’ry day

As Captain’s plate’s full of lamb!

Daily rhapsodies of fruit

While we bear burnt roots!

MUTINY I taste! I taste MUTINY!

 

 AYE!! AYE!! A-

 

YER!!…MUTINY finds I!

On my own damn ship!

First Mates and me’ crew

Plot against me like whimps!

T’would be best if you get up

Get to work this instant!

Or better company awaits

With the SHARKS your assistants!!

 

(Shuffling) AYE AYE! CAPTAIN!!

Yarrrr!!! The reviewers are right. Timeless and amusing, with great word choice! I was hoping for the remaining senses. The captain can hear the mutiny, I suppose, but there'd still be a stanza missing about smelling.

funny how this is a tale written of the old days yet it is seen in everyday life. nice

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Powerful and fun, a grated multitude to times past and times forgotten, well done!
