This is something that I wrote a long time ago and is my first (and to date, only) published work. I just thought I'd share it
There once was a man, the Flying DutchMan by name.
The vows he did make, are his sad claim to fame.
"To sail 'round Cape Good Hope," is the oath he did make.
"Even if it takes forever," and forever it shall take.
He gambled his soul to the Devil one day,
Who cheated, and won, and took it away.
Now damned he is; forever at sea.
Never to rest; nor ever at peace.
He sail and he gambles, to reclaim his soul,
From the Devil who stole it and cast it in limbo.
Bad luck he does bring, to the sailors who see,
The phantom ship of the DutchMan at Sea. |
