All

I've felt the gales of the seven seas,

gazed at sights even more wondrous than these

the ebbs and tides of wrathful storms...

I've seen mankind in all its forms

my council wise men sought saying 'please'

When shot at, shot back -oh, I've paid my fees

Chased lions and sharks -bested those fears

even twice scarred beauty and left her in tears

(And that my friend haunts me most after all these years)

 

Yet all this I say not to brag or toot a horn

but to introduce myself to you and to warn

that I may be foolish but think not I was low-born

like you i too possess a heart (though it be a bit forlorn

for 'twas touched by good and evil yet is to neither sworn)

So read this tale and perhaps my fate a little mourn:

surrounded by roses, I let one prick me with her thorn

it was not her doing -of danger she even did forewarn

Alas, 'tis true: my heart had its reasons to which reason is unknown.
