POEM: Pirate Chic

This was produced for the CPC Thematic Attic Thursday poetry challenge.

Bettie’s theme is something related to National Talk-Like-A-Pirate Day, which is September 19th every year.

PIRATE CHIC

Oh those swashbucklers of yore!
We so admired the clothes they wore.
Baggy shirts with billowed sleeves.
Leather bodkins, hatband weaves.

Wide-brimmed hats with feather flair.
exuding pure devil-may-care,
Swordbelts worn at rakish slants;
optional underpants.

Oh to be a pirate free,
free to roam uncharted sea.
sating needs from well-heeled sorts
with manic shouts and gun reports.

Dreams of wealth secured for life
on lush green isle with winsome wife.
Naught but captain can pull rank
unless forced to walk the plank.
