Have you heard?

The tall tales telling

themselves?

The ballads of the sea

The arrangements of ships

The wooden palaces

floating by

The kings and queens

ruling the seven seas

The very letters of their names

inspire fear into their many

enemies souls

The poor persons left to

Drown

The deep blue granted pardon

for it killing spree

Their spirits left to wander

hopelessly

Now I ask again

Have you heard?

The tall tales telling

themselves?

For even the dead

tell stories…
