Plundering the seven seas
Looking for something more
A swish of rum, a bit of loot
Wonder what’s next in store?
On a mighty ship we sail
Searching for lands of gold
Unspeakable things, a dagger fight
Make for stories wildly untold
The captain’s right hand
Sliced off during a brawl
“Now walk the plank!”
He made them all
Sailing for days
Furious storms abound
The captain went “overboard”
Never to be found!
What fate foretold, a wench you see?
A wandering soul, adventuring free
Along my journey, a life of glee
“Oh, it’s a pirate’s dream for me!”
©️ Laura Bennett
*wakes up*
Wait, was I a pirate in a former life?
Happy Manic Monday! 😵💫
May the odds be ever in your favor! This post is scheduled, and I’ll be on later after my errands to catch up with you! Have a great day! 🏴☠️
Arrr! Pirate images are by Kevin. Thank you! ❤️

He’d prefer not to swab the deck Done enough of that back in the day.
What other positions are available under you? 🙊
I mean…on your ship?
He’s no mutineer. A bit of a devilish rogue though. Or so I hear.

No deck swabbing of course! That’s for the followers of the old captain… pretty soon they better get it together…I mean! That’s what they’re best at doing, anyways…..🤫
Haha, under me…excellent 😈
Devilish rogue could fit, how are you at sword ⚔️ or dagger fights? 🗡️
I’m sure the Queen…cough, I mean Captain, could use some protection.
Body guard also seems highly appropriate too. 😜 🏴☠️
