Arrrh
I went to visit a bizarre bazaar;
Drove to it in my brand new car.
A stranger said "They've a fabulous bar,
With a pirate and a parrot who says 'Arrrh'.
Marvelous drinks, quite up to par,
And a grilled fish sandwich made of gar".
So I parked in the lot, just a little bit far
From the bar.
The parking lot coated my shoes with tar.
At the door I de-shoe-ed so that I wouldn't mar
The terrazzo floors of the bar, with the tar,
You know, that got on my shoes in the par-
king lot. Har, har.
The pirate said, "Come on, belly up to my bar".
And the parrot said, "Arrrh!"
I ordered a sammich and a drink in a jar,
Then started to write something really quite far
Out. The pirate spoke up sounding a little bit quar,
"Watcha doin' mate, wid your pencil thar?"
And the parrot said, "Arrrh".
I said, "I wanna back up, put my brain in reverse,
But I'm stuck in this rhyme zone, under a curse.
Everything I write down comes out in a verse.
And if I can't stop it will only get worse.
I've got a phone number somewhere in my purse.
I need a bit of help here, not to sound terse,
But please call them up to send me a nurse,
Before I wind up going home in a hearse.
I think that it already might have gone too far."
The parrot said,"Arrrh."
