REBELLION SONG: A SEA SHANTY Avast me hearties listen up Weigh anchor, hear ya captain burp By the light of the moon By the light of the moon Hear ya' captain burp By the light of the moon Yo ho ho an' a bottle o' rum He'll crush ya barnacles if ya turn an'run By the light of the moon By the light of the moon He'll crush ya barnacles By the light of the moon Arrgh! if the booty's missing a franc That's when he'll see to it ya' walk the plank By the light of the moon By the light of the moon He'll see to it ya' walk the plank By the light of the moon When we back-o-beyond and the sea is tame By the light of the moon By the light of the moon We'll scupper 'im: blimey! aye, aye When the sea is tame By the light of the moon Yo ho ho an' a bottle o' rum We'll crush 'is barnacles if he tries to run By the light of the moon By the light of the moon We'll crush 'is barnacles By the light of the moon The light of the moon! © selma

Thanks so much for reading, and happy national poetry writing month.
I’m a simple woman who dares to see the beauty in ordinary. I’d love to connect with you and like pen pals, I want something beautiful to blossom between us. Will you join me? Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write. I sincerely hope you decide to join me on my writing journey. I Wish You Miracles.
