The Ghost of Captain Dick
Legend tells of shipwrecked Captain
smugglers lamp sending false signal
smashed fury of rugged rocks
sending all crew to drown
his wailing soul is heard
as turpulent tortured waves crash.
Local sailors tell ghostly tales
strange stories are often told
that on the anniversary night
where the beach path forks
a sign for Dicks Cove
graveyard for the old wreck.
Somehow is suspiciously turned around
blamed on hazardous stormy weather
that seems one logical explanation
but on this haunted beach
in the early morning tide
crumpled human corpse is found.
Strangled and tangled in seaweed
disturbing virgin smooth soft sand
deep marks can be seen
rusty chain perhaps dragged along
that the Captain had indeed
chained himself to the wheel.
Swearing revenge on innocent souls
tears flowed of broken heart
for his beautiful loving wife
bewitching sexy lush black haired
large bouncy breasted adorable Fanny
who herself on hearing news - - -
Became a shameless drunken harlot
Taking lovers in navy uniform
Lord Foreskin high ranking Admiral
bedded her in seafaring fashion
he complained of headaches then
died of a mysterious illness.
