GIt Gat Gongo!

GIt Gat Gongo!

A Poem by John Butler
"

Join Git Gat Gongo, a scurvy pirate and his crew as they sail the High Seas, fight the Devil, and sail into the gates of Hell!

"
Git Gat Gongo, despicable cur
Held court on the High Seas
Black Flag, black heart, black deeds
A rum scum if ever there was one
'Twas Git Gat Gongo!

No ranks, but blood banks on crimson decks
Death threats and black sweats and odious beasts
Scurvy swine sauced on wine and spirits
All rabbled and gabbled as one
All hailing 'Git Gat Gongo!'

Well they might, for thick in the fight
Git Gat Gongo hurled his hate!
Grabbing fate by the throat and glared
Into the souls of those whose cutlass
Cut deep into his flea bitten skin

Opening the veins of vengence
And the veins of bloody retribution!
Still the crew cheered their Captain
'Git Gat Gongo!' Git Gat Gongo!

Around his neck a bead of teeth
Pulled from the beaten foes
Rancid and rotten,pride of his ill- gotten deeds
The long coat he wore was hideous green
Adorned with the tools of his trade
Sharpened knives like deadly wives
His favoured deadly blade

One demon- dark, and treacherous night
The heavens opened up and all hell let loose!
Thunder claps, incessant rain was leashed upon the decks
' Git Gat Gongo!' I've come for you!
The Devil shouted out...then waited

Git Gat Gongo black with rage!
Pulled his deadly blade and engaged in battle
The Devil grabbed him by the throat
Smashed his mouth with a dirty blade
Gashed all his teeth and as they spat
Gathered them up from spit and blood
That deck a bloody spitoon!
Adorned around his neck and shouted
Git Gat Gongo! Your soul is mine!

Yet Git Gat Gongo hurled his blade
Sank it deep into his foe and lurched
Grabbed those horns and wrestled hard
Till both fell from the deck
Swathes of waves enveloped deep

No sight nor sound was seen nor heard
Save from the men left on the deck
Screaming 'Git Gat Gongo! Git Gat Gongo!
As they sailed to Hell!
