It's not a crime.
It's a derring-do
type swashbuckle deal,
and a good one, too! It's
a good bit to do with
the rum, I think.
I lied.
It's a crime.
Although, what about international waters? Way
way, way back in the day, well before
international government bodies outpoured
their brand-new powers of shoulda and oughtta
in floods of indelible, bloodstained ink
all over the deep-blue, briny
depthless drink?
It was no crime then.
Just a guideline, see?
The old war of each, against
all. So I lied.
It wasn't
a crime. Necessarily.
