" Now All Shall Bow and Obey My Rules on This Ship"!
bellowed the overbearing Captain Doosh.
With that he ordered everyone out onto the deck
in the pouring rain
the swells rocking the boat
as if going from mountain to valley.
"None shall eat, nor talk, neigh
even to loosening your bowel's
until I have confirmed that it shall be granted by my judgement
and mine alone"!
All of a sudden
a giant swordfish
rose from the depths of the ocean
and smote off the evil Captain's head
with a quivering agile stroke.
A man from the galley Quill
who was particularly set upon
by the degraded whims of the overbearing Captain
picked up his head and said
"Is this okay, Captain"?
and proceeded to urinate all over the face
of the separated cranium
A raucous cheer
with the faintest understanding
of freedom reclaimed
broke out
amongst the hundred or so men and women
on the Amistad
Within mere minutes
the tempestuous storm departed
and the suns golden rays came piercing down
bathing the men in its glory
as if wanting to add some divine finality
to the former slaves situation
And a shout went out in solidarity
that cascaded over the waves of the giant ocean
for as far as the eye could see
"Liberty"!
