In honor of Valentine's Day, Corrine let me use an excerpt from Wistful Musings from a Crow's Nest. It's from her pre-Copper days, of course, when she wasn't so lucky in love.
Pirates are manly
And pirates are strong.
On deck they fan me
And sing me a song.
To date them is pleasant
I’ll freely admit.
But they’re so adolescent
Swinging off the bowsprit.
Yeah, I need a smart man,
And one who’s well-read.
Not just merely strong, tan,
Who’ll soon end up dead.
Where are the good guys?
Respectful and funny?
Not likely to tell lies?
Not focused on money?
I’d rather be single,
I grudgingly say,
Than any more mingle
With morons all day.
Yeah dating is stupid
When options are few.
Oh, come on Cupid,
Quit making me blue.
I want some affection
With an honorable dude.
While I wait for perfection,
I’ll mope here and brood.
Jennifer tried to contact Black Pearl's resident poet, but he said he takes Valentine's Day far too seriously to waste any time on Valentines for you. Jennifer found somebody with a little more time on his hands...or paws.
Pepper says, "You're great! Enjoy this special gift of my affection!"
