A is for adventure and naval battles won
B is for brocade, gold and gleaming in the sun
C is for Commodore and a ceremonial sword
D is for the Dauntless, which describes him in a word
E is for Elizabeth, who tore his world asunder
F is for fortitude amidst the sound of canon-thunder
G is for the gauntlet thrown between the three
H is the broken heart he cast off to sea
I is the Interceptor, fastest ship around
J is for the jerks who ran her 'to the ground
K is for the King, whose orders he must obey
L is for love and the words he can't say
M is for the maps he unfurled across the table
N is for the Navy, providing ships and men when able
O is an overboard boy who stole his girl
P is for pirates which make his lip curl
Q is for his quick wit, kept at the ready
R is the rudder chain that had held the ship steady
S is a final smile that showed her what he couldn't tell
T is Tortuga, where he's found a new kind of Hell
U is for unwanted, despairing, and disgraced
V is for the valour which hasn't quite been displaced
W is a white wig, untamed and poofing at the sides
X is for the x-marks he longs to see on pirates' eyes
Yet Y is for yearning far out past the darkened shore
Z is the sound as he slumps to the floor
And A is for always, no matter how hard he fights
He still misses her on those cold, rum-filled nights.
Author's Note:
It's the alphabet song, Commodore-style! You can almost sing it if you try hard enough. (well, sort of)
A few things: the letter A repeats itself (because it is that cool); the "three" referred to in the letter G means Will, Norrington, and Jack (henceforth referred to as Elizabeth's love square); the letter J comes after the letter I and is meant as a Norrington ( a tad OOC) POV; X means the x-shaped marks on the eyes of cartoon people, etc (e.g, dead fish have x's on their eyes).
Hope you liked it!
