GIt Gat Gongo!A Poem by John ButlerJoin 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! © 2015 John Butler |
