We all know how much I love Kipling, so I am just gonna throw this in here. I find it fitting when considering Pirates.

Nice poem, very appropriate.

What is Poets Corner and why did you cry over it? Was it that Kipling thing you have?

Poets Corner is where many of England's greatest poets are buried in Westminster. There is a stone for Kipling there, although I am not sure if he is entombed in the abbey or not. It was sort of a "look I am in the presence of former greatness, this is all real and then coupled with the sadness I always feel that Kipling lost his only son to WWI.
Also, I cry easy, but we all knew that.

Ah.

Nothing wrong with being sentimental.
