Gather around my little ones, time for a story. Once upon a time there was a very good looking strapping lad. He had a head full of black shiny hair, pearly white teeth, a chiselled jaw and a very tall muscular young body, his friends would tease this young lad and call him names, they would called him “Richard”;---- due to a actor at the time called Richard Gere.
One day after footy training all the young lads decided to go to town and have a fun night in the bright lights, off course our good looking hero, “Richard” was first to say, “what a great idea!”
Dressed in his finest cloths Richard meant this friends in one of the city finest water holes, whenever he walked in the city he looked the part, doing his best John Travolta “Staying Alive hip and shake “and all the young girls would Purrrrrrrr.
This particular warm Saturday night in the big city was a very different night indeed, there our Hero standing at the bar surrounded by his friends and they are all in good cheer, after a couple of cold Beers Richard turns and look towards the bar. Arrrrrrrrrr there she was, Richard`s eye where instantly drawn to the lovely sweet curves of her body, the lights danced upon her figure and she was just inches away from our Hero Richard. He stared and look upon her, his throat tighten and his mouth instantly become very, very dry. He stared at the sweet little droplet of water that was racing down her sensuous curves. The bartender came towards Richard and asked; - ‘What do you wish” with a trembling hand Richard pointed towards those sweet curves and said; - “One of those”, with a swift reply shouted; - “A Rum” and finally his desires were fulfilled as he grabbed the cold glass and poured those sweet spicy curves down his throat, his nostrils filled with a lovely scent of a fragrance that will never be forgotten, as he wiped his mouth and he turn around, and said ”I have another”
Our hero Richard was floating in ecstasy and joy, glass after glass, until finally all went blank and our hero hit the deck with such a thud.
It may of seemed days, but, it was years, finally Richard open his eyes, he sees the blue skies above him, he hears waves crashing upon a wooden haul, he hears seagull laughter upon the distance, he sniffs the smell of salt in the air and the only thought he has in his skull, was a young lad walking the city nights doing his best hip and shake and a song in his head; - “Staying Alive” he lifts his head from the deck and looks upon a hideous beast, all covered in feathers with a very large beak. With a loud squawk, he hears; - “Get the fuck-up the ships about to ram the Rocks” like a lion he jumps to his feet, but slips and falls to deck with a thud. He shakes his head looks and sees he has a wooden peg for one leg, then he looks upon his hands, one has three fingers and a thumb the other a shiny hook, with another shake of his head he realises he wears a patch over one eye and his hair is long, thin and grey;- then the evil beast squawks again and says;- “Yeee Old Silly Pirate, time to save the Ship” he jumps up again, this time his balance he has regained and races towards the wheel, where he grabs on tightly and turns the wheel hard, around and around, he turns and looks upon the horizons, where he sees the sails before him. With the wind in his hair, and waves crashing over the sides he realises he has no memories, it is all just a blank, but for one;- of a young lad walking the city nights doing his best “hip and shake “ He knows his mistress is a Bottle called;- RUM and his only friend is a evil squawking beast. How the years have gone past, but he stands tall; - with a smile upon his face he knows “an old Pirate he has become”;
Ohhh Eye my sweet little ones this tale has come to an end and the moral of this story is “never get between a Pirate and his Mistress”; - Cheers and pass the Rum
