Title: Rough Riders
Rating: K (plus-ish)
Mood song: Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm
Pairings: Johnny 13 and Captain Youngblood (cowboy Youngblood is not as good at the pirate XD), although not as a lovey-dovey couple but just… together without being together. (eh?!)
Word count: 299
Notes: Ell oh ell. Not because it's a funny crack drabble, but because I just like these two. Hmm, I do a lot of villain drabbles; maybe because there are so many unique villains, and we already know the heroes? I suppose that's it… but it's another poem; I suck. You must hate my poems. But I like them, okay! -smile-

I man a ship and take care of me crew,

Something that, as a child, I've always dreamed to do.

I ride a motorcycle and crawl across the night,

Me and my Shadow soaking up the darkness, avoiding light.

And although I may look young

And even though I may act tough

I'm no kid, and I can twist you up like a washing rag that had been rung.

I'm not a piece of leather, and the riding get's rough.

But I can sail the ghostly sky without a worry

And send cannon balls firing down in a flurry.

But I can steal without being seen,

And travel to places that you've never been.

It's fun while the night time lasts

It's fun without having human bones in casts

And I guess dying was a good thing if I get this now

But I'll always ask myself why I care, and how

Because I'm a wild spirit, reckless and free

And yet feel empty and incomplete.

I really only have a child's mind

So being reckless and free is what I get, what I find

And I sort of like it, although can't explain it,

And it bugs me that I have no satisfaction to remain with.

I'll get restless

I'll get restless

And want something else, something new

And want something else, something new

And now it just comes down to:

What the hell to do?

Should I haunt some punk, maybe steal his girl?

Should I stop being captain and give being a cowboy a whirl?

I'm not sure; but I have until forever…

I'm not sure; but who cares, whatever!

I'll just stay this tough rider

For now, I'll just stay this rough fighter

And wait for my afterlife to shine with an excitement that's brighter.
