The Silent Sentinal


Recommended Posts

Commercial-free until Halloween! No commercials at all! None! Nothing that would make you run away screaming in horror...

...well...not from the commercials, anyway...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Here's Phillipus and the Yard-Arms with their mega-Platinum hit about the man with no tongue...

_______________________________________________________________________________

The Silent Sentinel

He stood on the

Aged oaken deck,

Seagulls his only company

For what had been taken,

At such a great cost,

Was ne’er given over for free

He’d fought and he’d sang

As he traveled the world,

Brought children into this bleak sphere

But after a while

He had lost his great smile

To a circumstance verily queer

He’d never refrained

From speaking his mind,

A bon mot, or witty reply

So what had occurred had

Surpassed his best word

As if he had been fixin’ to die

His tongue had been silenced

By ruffians many,

His syllables cut off at birth

The silence was thun’drous,

Though his mind were won’drous,

His words were indeed at a dearth

His words, once so free,

Had gained shackles at sea,

All due to that horrible night

And tho’ some may say

That it’s better that way,

It still is a wrong, not a right

So now he stays dumb,

Waiting for what will come,

As the world goes about its foul ways

His life is a shell,

A sure-thing living Hell,

As he sits and waits for his last days
