Shanty

With anchors dropped and duly set, where ere we ever docked ..
Upon these salty seas of ours, seven heartbeats were truly felt ..
Weigh anchor when the deed is done, several other vessels shot ..
One in every port at least, say’s I, each fucked, to kingdom come ..
Come virgins, wives n mistresses, we cannot, leave half cocked ..
