Grog

I came across a note one day
in the shady part of town
I read it and didn't understand what it said
till I fliped it around.

It was an ad of sorts I believe
for some refreshing drink
i'ts said to hit you twice, one going down
the other out to the sink.

One Grog I told the Barkeep
he replied in a fashionable way
'If Grog is what you Desire..
then I desire you not to stay!'

I pleeded with the Keeper
of drinks and spirites and fun
that I was willing to pay lots of money
to drink Grog under the sun.

The man agreed to this
as he started to pour the potion
he then lit a candle match
and moved it like the ocean.

He chanted strange words
then he stoped and gave it to me
without hesitation, I drank it!
I don't know what came over me.

A short time later I awoke
with spittle and some flem
I swore to myself that day
to never drink grog again!

Penned by my hand on the 21st of Haernos, in the year 111 MA.
