a/n: no aspect of Pirates of the Caribbean belongs to me.
contains references to "At Worlds End"
(Flannelette...the cold doesn't bother her anyway)
After a three year plot freeze...events move on.
The Adventures of Flannelette the Pirate Maiden: chapter 52
It's a chill wind...
It's cold.
It's really very cold
Upon
The frozen deck.
Their icy voyage appears to have no end.
And Flannelette still generates
A warm and sunny glow;
Much warmer than her erstwhile dearest friend.
~0~
And Lizzie Swann,
That erstwhile friend,
Stomps up and down
The ship,
In blacksmith's borrowed boots and woollen wrap;
Determined not to move too close
To Flannelette for warmth,
Whilst hapless crewmens' deadened digits snap.

Dear Flannelette
Takes heed
Of fallen flesh,
And vows to act,
And utilise her medical degrees;
(From Harvard, Yale and Oxford;
Only female, top of class);
Restoring missing finger ends with ease.

Will Turner
Idly keeps a note
Of icebergs
Floating past;
Absorbed by secrets held, another scheme.
He loves his Lizzie Swann, of course
And as for Flannelette...
No crime to gaze at raven hair, and dream...
~0~
Barbossa,
Tall in feathered hat
Regards
The frosted crew
And watches stiff ice-laden sails unfurl.
No doubt about his motives on this trip
To rescue Jack;
He's missed his matchless, damned elusive Pearl.
~0~
A flash!
A green and eerie flash!
The far horizon
Glows.
An icy sweat marks every icy brow.
Another soul lost far at sea, the sea has claimed her own;
What devilment pursues the party now?
~0~
Will things warm up soon?
