The Lost Expedition
this is the end
and so the sail
dipped below the horizon
tho whether because of the planet's curvature
or a kraken attack wasn't clear
the middle
grapnels flew across the gap & bit the rails
and a few dozen pirates swung aboard
hard-bitten words and scimitars
clashed and flew apart
they fought free of the pirates
and the sail caught the west wind
all hands bandaged their wounds
and gulls swooped at the wake
the beginning
refitting complete
the Tern was ready
for the next leg of the journey
the crew, money spent, was ready too
a few hours after they left port
a ship appeared flying the skull & bones
it closed quickly and they could see
a flamboyant crew
