Today's NaPoWriMo prompt suggested I write a sea shanty. I hope this serves! Even if it doesn't, I dig the rhythm. I'm pretty sure I'm going to become a sailor just so I can spread it around the world like a disease...you know, like sailors do... ;)

Shore Leave at the Big Top

(Hey-o, wey-o)
I got a pretty girl with her knickers down.
(Hey-o, wey-o)
Too damn bad she's a circus clown.
(Hey-o, wey-o)
But the pennies are pinched and the times are tight.
(Hey-o, wey-o)
So, a clown girl's all I can buy tonight.

Would you like a cuddle and a tumble and a sigh?
(I want a big red nose in front of my thighs!)
Would you like to barter off a garter when you lie?
(I want clown girls covering my face in pie!)
