A Pirate Looks At Seventy

When I was a pirate
and you were my plunder,

limbs akimbo,
clothes asunder,
eyes like oceans,
moans like thunder,
sailing beneath
silken sheets.

When I was a pirate
and you were my plunder…

Everything felt
wild and free.
More riot than quiet.
Rogering to
wanton ecstasy!

Oh what a world of wonder!

Arrrgh!

How thrilling to be
a happy pirate and
his libertine lady.
