Note:  The prompts for 3 word wednesday were Alter, Fond and Tranquil; HOWEVER I thought FOND read FOUND and I am not going to re-write this :).  So I'll be two-thirds on topic. lol.

Captain Cobb:  Neptune's Revenge

Drunken song of missing sailors disturb the tranquil sea,

The fog of night its darkness damp sinks hope they will be found,

Hope is weighed with anchor low on ocean’s rocky floor,

No lantern lit or captain’s wit can alter future gore.

The pirates’ skiff, a creeping crypt of killers, floats a stern,

It won’t be long; there’ll be no song from sailors lost at sea,

Their treasure chest of golden coin will sail with Captain Cobb,

Tranquil corpses found afloat won’t alter pirates’ greed.

Captain Cobb will sail away with treasure not his own,

But Neptune’s might and anger flamed will alter plans of foul,

A giant wave from tranquil seas will swamp the pirates’ ship,

The gold will sink on Cobb’s wet grave by no man to be found.
