What of the sinners and sailors With no wind in their tails No wind left to blow them from north to down south No ports left open and no ships set sail No storms on high seas, no blowing wild gales Just fast women and home brew for now
We commandeer this ship by order of sin We pirates need an adventure and we fight for no King "Man the decks lads, we sail to win, To the East where the gold and oil lies within"
For 5 moths we played hide you seek With the Kings army and sailors so weak "Land ahoy! 'Tis Smugglers Bay, We be finding great rewards for each man here today"
The terra firma was a strange, unusual substance The air had a new type of fragrance We manoeuvred through the forest with acute precision Animal noises warned of our invading existence
Up high in the rooftops of the trees We're were being stalked by a beast with ease We knew, but made our way further inland Until we heard the animals made no more sounds
We arrived at a cave type opening Unnatural shapes and carvings in a mountain We lit our forest torches and entered without fear For this was the place that our map showed bounty was here
The bats. The cobwebs. The darkness. Confined inside with a smell of unkindness. Can hardly breathe from a lack of oxygen But then in the distance we could see gold and gems
We rushed onwards to get the treasure Stopped in our tracks by the sounds of.....hissing, screams and crunching bone.....severed
Spiders! Giant man eating spiders, scorpions and serpents were all around us
For 3 days and 4 nights I was cocooned in this giant web Watching and listening as 1 by 1 the creatures fed My turn came but this sailor hadn't give up yet I had a concealed weapon inside my boot When that god awful huge spider came in for the kill, I let loose
Running, quick, left then right, no left Shit, I can feel the scorpions nasty breathe....
....SPLASH! Ewwww some gooey, slimy type stuff up to my head I fell down a shaft into a pool of death With bones and skulls of dead animals and my shipmates I swim to the edge but felt something grab my waist Squeezing. Tight. I can't breathe! It's wrapped around my ankles and knees Then up and out it comes with its hissing, slivering tongue Jaws wide and fangs dripping its ooze......
.......Then I wake up from my nightmare-ish snooze!
Damn!
