The Proposal
Wil Cormier, 1955
"If the pirate with the scarf
had been more poetically minded
he'd have thought that her eyes
were like a thousand emeralds,
glittering in a far-off pirate treasure chest.
But he wasn't,
so he just thought that she had
really really green eyes,
a bit like seaweed."

"Only those who will risk going too far
can possibly find out
how far one can go."

The Mermaid
One Friday morn when we set sail,
And our ship not far from land,
We there did a-spy a pretty fair maid
with a comb and a glass in her hands.
While the raging seas did roar,
And the stormy winds did blow,
And we jolly sailor-boys were all up aloft
And the land-lubbers lying down below."

"You don't know what it is
to live and laugh and love
and run a man through!
You've never tasted salty air on your tongue
or waved heartily at a mermaid!"

"There is no shortage of well-known pirates,
including:
Henry Morgan, Captain Kidd,
Blackbeard, Yellow Beard,
and Yellow Beard with Black Roots,
who surmised that,
if blondes have more fun,
than blond pirates must have
a heck-of-a-lot more fun."

my love as deep.
The more I give thee,
the more I have,
For both are infinite."
