P is for Pirate
The cargo was aboard The Hutch
The men were back at their stations
Tomorrow at noon they'd leave BG town
The deal was done without interruption.
Roy stretched out on the deck
Admiring his bottle of Gut warmer
He was pleased as heck.
At their recent success.

"How about we sweeten the day?"
Ray said aiming with a repeater
He was by the boat's edge
Watching the winds and the waves.
"What do you mean brother?"
Roy shot up at a bolt.
"The guns ought to be fired
While The Hutch needs a baby sister."

The moon peeked out from behind a cloudy veil
Its silvery beams guided the barefoot men.
Two had climbed aboard the Liberty Belle
From the murky depths of the salt water.
They slithered past the mast
Stepped up behind the lookouts
One swift slice, two limp bodies
Slumped never to make a sound.
A low howl sounded at a distance
Ropes flew up and were swiftly bound
More men silently moved to the cabins
To seize the sleeping skeleton crew.
The painted ladies were shocked awake
Cunning as they may be, they heard not a whisper
When the bare chested men locked them
Together in a room without decorum.

A young fellow heard an unwelcome creak
He reached for his six-shooter
But the door burst open and a man jumped on the bed
Choking the living lights out of him.
The young fellow grasped at the fingers
Struggling to loosen the grip
When his six-shooter blew his attacker
Red flooded over the clean white sheet.
Two men grabbed the young fellow
While another knocked him out.
They gagged and dragged him to the deck
He was thrown among the rest.
All the weapons were stacked like hay
Ray stood at the Bridge
The plan had worked without a hiccup
As they had done plenty times before.

"Anchors up!
We cast off from this spot,
To waters which are deeper
Then we'll play tic-tac-toe with the repeater
And the losers get to sleep with the river creatures!
