The Galleon

a gurgling galleon hoping to stay afloat                  

alongside a coastline not fit for no boat

drownin in fog gargling sea swirlin foam

where nearsighted squid don’t never roam

 

submerged turtles pursuin a pink periscope

are protected from squirmin squid by the pope 

while foamy freeboard pipelines forsaking grief

are preparing aperitif to supplement lean liverleaf

 

a craggy crew curing kelp clogged galley yawns                

help risin horizon’s sterilize dew dappled dawns

as swordfish are dueling with electric sawblades

to expose sour maid charades just holdin spades

 

ten toes skim a board over a foam-covered reef

with babes in bikinis displaying mermaid motifs

while down with the mussels, the galleon skids

to watch u-tube with a buncha partying squids

doesn't sound like any cruise i've ever been on. lots of going on here. you sure had a treasure chest aboard. x marks the spot. pretty good stuff.

Oops
Forgot the treasure chest
First the rumble seat and now the treasure
I'll have to hire a proof reader
Have a jolly day
