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.
