Sea-flight

I continue to record my adventures on your internet. Enjoy. -P

The ship closed in,
And then just when
They were in cannon’s reach,
A splash was heard
And we emerged;
The mermaid and I breached.

I held on tight.
As fast as flight,
She flew us through the sea.
And friends of hers
Sped the others
And we all fled the scene.

To rest awhile,
We found an isle
Deserted long ago.
The fairy gave
The mermaid a
Response like due a foe:

“Now, how did you
Escape that crew?
And not get killed by- her?”

“The Redhead’s mine,
Serves me, not swine.
She helped me cause a stir.
As for our friend,
We were swimmin!
Not like I could ask her!

With that they left
Us there, bereft
Of any way back home!

”Cap, this is where
You’ve been? Nowhere?
Just stranded all alone?”

”No, this ain’t it.
And we can’t get
Back on our way just yet.”
We've time to do
A thing or two,
And dry whatever's wet.

“Ok, but why?”

“We lost our ride,”
I looked at my fae friend.

“And also, well,
That worked too well.
No, this is not the end.”
