One has guile
and one has glee
as they court
King Lear tenderly
I don't know the end
or even the third act
of how this drama will unfold
but I have a feeling
there is a plot,
manipulation and
a hold
does there lie a hidden agenda
behind their smiles and compliments
a perfect place to pitch their tent
one day Lasse i Gatan was a
pirate, the next a bucanneer,
and the third showed him
made noble by a Crown that
once sought his neck
then brought honour to
his name and integrity to his deck
where am I headed in this fog?
I can't say
meanwhile I keep this Star Trek
"Captain's
log"
and I take refuge in that
Peter Blood also won the day
got the girl,
and became Governor
and all in a matinee
