I Wish I Was in the Horse Latitudes
I wish I was in the horse latitudes
with solar sails on my brigantine -
cruising with my crew of bad buccaneers!
colours nailed to the mast, jolly roger flying -
as we wait. The wait!
for the Tricolour - the Jack - the Stars and Stripes!
to become becalmed
and beat their doldrums!
- and they would stare
in fear and wonder
at our solar sails
as we prepare
to bear
down on them
and do some righteous pirate damage!
