Where is the rum?

by krystal lazuli

When I discovered the word numb rhymes with rum I was in trouble. I'm no poet and this definitely proves it, but my muse took hold of the word and wouldn't let go till I created something. This is the result. It's set just prior to Capatain Jack Sparrow's

I know this verse it rather dumb.

But, when I heard the word 'numb'

I decided to have myself some fun!

Bear with me.

Sitting upon his rather lovely bum

So long in fact that it was numb.

Adrift at sea in the sun, where is the rum?

Still with me?

He's running out of places to come.

People stare, thinking he is quite a bum.

But his search? Why it's almost done.

Almost there.

Boredom has made him quite glum.

He stares morosely at his thumb.

Land he sees, is this the one?

Ah, Port Royal! Now where is the rum?
