The God Chapter 4

Next day we awoke on the isle of Ballyhoo

With neither of us really sure what to do

Eventually we were approached by a cannibal fella

Who had located us by our tasty food smella

Not of my dear Clyde, but the smell was of me

However, I told him I was a God named WhoHee

Hoping this, instead of getting into a fight

Would suppress his unsavory, man-eating appetite

You’d think that being a God on tropical isles

Would seem like license to accumulate added air miles

But when they are maneaters, that think you are food

It makes any, not a real King, think he’d be soon chewed

And with these Cannibal’s thinking me ripe to eat

Both Clyde and I quickly jumped back onto our feet

Fortunately, as they were about to enjoy a festive gore

A huge pirate ship landed on the near shore

Somehow, they’d heard of me being a man who was God

Altho’ having a horse companion, they thought kina odd

But, if they had arrived just one minute later

The Cannibals would have lit their barbecue activator

Instead, the Pirates rescued us back to their ship

Instead of getting eaten, we were going on a sea trip

Which had the ship set out pon seven seas

To attack Spanish Galleons whenever we’d please

Since the Captain thought me a God, what he decided to do

Was make my horse Clyde and I, head of the crew

In our capacity we directed the ship along the Spanish main

Looking for Spanish treasure which we hoped to attain

Finally, we saw a three masted Spanish Galleon with treasure

And mounting an attack, soon became our pleasure

Our broadside of cannon’s fired round after round

Filling seas with cannon’s ball smoke and sound

When they surrendered, over went our grappling hook

Soon letting us on board to give their treasure the look

Silver and spice and jewels and gold

Filled that great Spanish galleon’s hold

All of which soon filled our pirate ship to the seams

Making us rich beyond our wildest dreams

Back on shore, we bought a pub full of grog

And for endless months, lived high on the hog

But one day, and I know it sounds funny

We had blown almost every cent of our money

We found being a god isn’t much fun when you’re broke

Especially when your fortune has gone up in smoke

Since we could no longer afford a bean in a store

Clyde and I cantered far away from that shore

Again, becoming travellers, just we two

Bidding our past sea adventures, a final adieu

With our adventure and this day coming to a close

Night came with need for a doze

Somehow, we’d saved a few bucks to buy an old 4x4 jeep

And in its back seat, just before we both fell asleep

Clyde slipped behind a wide tree

And left there something quite smelly

You know you have the wildest of imaginations Dave. I wonder where the inspiration for this tale came from. Not bad dreams I hope? And surely not from Move to the country lol. I take it you are still watching and dreaming:)

Oh yes, between cowboy movies we are still enjoying.
I am so impressed with the scenery, old buildings, castles, history, etc. that I'd move over in a moment and altho' I keep bugging my wife about moving, so far it is a no go
Enjoy the rest of your day

Oh the adventure with Clyde. Cannibalism ready to bbq and pirate ships what’s not to love about this comical tale.

[John the Baptist]

Well, I'm glad Clyde held it until the end. Even cannibals know gods don't have bowel movements
