it's summer


s  u  m  m  e  r

boarding party

Airtight they yell, swearing through yellow teeth
"It is the ship we're after young man
We won't leave until we get it
Leave your post and useless gun
What more have you to lose
Get out of harms way
And fight no more!"

They can't total
What we've lost right here
Bled for in far away seas
Cast off lives like dice in craps
There is but one more roll to toss
All the drinks and laughs mean nothing now
If I let them board her without a fight

goodnight 3.10.99
