The Ghost of Captain Dick

entry picture

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.
