AN EXAMPLE OF PIRATE WRITING.

IF I WERE A PIRATE,
I'D BE FAR AWAY FROM PITTSBURG;
I'D BE ON THE SEVEN SEAS,
HOISTING THE SAILS, TELLING WIVES TALES:
YES THIS IS THE LIFE FOR ME!
OH THIS IS THE LIFE FOR ME!
SKULLS AND BONES AND DAVEY JONES,
A WOODEN LEG, A PET PARROT NAMED BILLY:
YES, YES THIS IS THE LIFE FOR ME!
OH THIS IS THE LIFE OF ME!
THERE'S SHIPS TO SCARE,
FOR THERE'S TREASURE THERE!
THIS YOU CAN BE SURE OF ME.
SO LET'S DUMP OUR THINGS,
AND HEAD TO THE BAY:
WE'LL BOARD A BRIGANTINE.
YES THIS IS THE LIFE FOR YE!
YES THIS IS THE LIFE FOR YE!
-this is what i mean by writing about pirates. write stuff like this.
I HOPE YOU ARE BEING SERIOUS WHEN YOU SAID THAT MY POEM WAS WELL WRITTEN BECAUSE THERE IS PLENTY MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM. I SAY THIS SINCE IN THE PAST WHAT I OFTEN HAD MISTAKEN FOR SERIOUSNESS WAS ACTUALLY MEANT IN JEST. SUCH INSTANCES HAVE LEFT ME JADED. COINCINDENTALLY, THIS WAS MY MOTIVE TO ASK DEADATHOME TO WRITE MORE ABOUT PIRATES. SUCH A TOPIC ALLOWS THE WRITER, IF BUT FOR A MOMENT, TO RETURN TO THE WORLD HE/SHE HAD AS A CHILD, A WORLD WITHOUT IRONY. IN FACT I AM WRITING A BOOK ON THIS VERY SUBJECT, WHERE I OUTLINE THIS MODE OF THERAPY, WHICH I CURRENTLY HAVE DUBBED "THE PETER PAN METHOD." THE RUNNING TITLE OF THE BOOK IS "PETER PANNING THE MIND," WITH CHAPTER TWO SOLELY DEDICATED TO PIRATES. I THINK I WILL ENTITLE THAT CHAPTER AS "COMMANDEERING YOUR INNER CHILD." I PLAN ON FINISHING THE BOOK BY JULY, AT WHICH POINT I WILL SEND IT TO PUBLISHERS. WISH ME LUCK!
