Set for St. Alban's

Set for St. Alban's

A Poem by Desert Knave
"

A little write inspired by Halloween's approach

"
You can pull up the ladders, Jack
The rest of them aren't worth the wait
All that matters is our freight
We can't afford to be late

You can hoist up all the sails, mate
We've our Master's coffin below
We must get him home, you know
We've many miles to go

You can set sail for St. Alban's, boys
We will have a fortune to share
Once we've gotten there
And we've little time to spare

You can pray to Saint Brendan, son
For we've got the undead below
We must get him home, you know
To collect all we are owed

You can pull up the ladders, Jack
Where we sail there is no way back
