The Ghost of Captain Hugh McGee

A apparition poem is what you'll see

 A story and a tale

A sailor hearty and hale

Who sailed his ship across the sea

Twas he

Who told me

 Of the Ghost of Captain Hugh McGee

Over the bar

In a half filled jar

The man did speak and slur

That Captain Hugh McGee was dodgy ole' cur

Across oceans far and wide he sailed

His trade was women

For he'd failed with fur

Now the more ya know

The drunkard mate told me

Of the Crazy Captain Hugh McGee

The more I wondered

The more I pondered

Was the Captain, really a King

With a harem far out at sea?

Another Ale round

The mans fists did pound

Upon the bar as his words went far

That Ugly Captain Hugh McGee

If'n you'd ever seen'm

You'd proly wish to run

Or flee...Or PEE!

Well that was enough for me to hear

Yet a question I had

Did so begin to nag

Did this Captain Hugh McGee die?

At land...

Or out at sea?

The drunken sailor grinned of salt

His breath now a stench, an assault

Nay my mate. How did he die

In the air!

While trying to fly a fish

A whale snatched him up

His death was quick, a squish!

Now in the morn

I awoke to a blow'n fog horn

The sailor was no where to be found

Save for inside a little bar

In a this little town

Where a ship had run a'ground

The Ghost's of Hugh McGee

An interesting story of such misfortune. Hilarious...but still misfortunate for the Captain. I like when you fly one of these story/poems inbetween all the wonderous heart felt... loving...emotion gripping ones. These are such a nice treat. Just to have some fun with it... As always, I love to read them I do :)

I like this. It's a really cool poem and a story told very well!

"Over the bar
In a half filled jar"
I really like the use of the word "jar". Reminds me of my home bar! I do think that those lines would work better if you used "with" instead of "in". That just makes more sense, no?

My favorite part:
"
The drunken sailor grinned of salt
His breath now a stench, an assault"- great!

Nice work!
