The Watery Tale of Abe the Pirate

‘Twas both bright and dark
and dark and bright,
as the morning rolled into its night
and the tepid seas tossed and turned,
crashing against the shore.

A Jolly Roger flew in the mast
of the first giant ship that came in last,
carrying a full crew
of One and Not One More.

So One was there
and Not One More
to seek the pirate treasure,
glowing rocks and sparkly things
far beyond their measure.

The warm wind blew a cooling air
as they began their quest
to find a fabled treasure on this sandy shore,
the search of One and Not One More,
to find the place of a pirate’s final rest.
