People kept saying to me “Why dont you write a Halloween Song Captain” so thought ok, I blimmin’ well will then.
Now I aint writing the usual muck about Zombies, Vampires, Ghosts and Ghouls. I aint singing about Horror, Knives, Axes and all that Blood Stuff – Nah - its just not me!
I’m gonna tell you about an actual ‘true life’ story.
Now I spends a lot of my time travellin’ around the world with my crew in The BlackBlister (me boat) and I meet all sorts of different kinds of people on my travels. I’m never one to judge, I always accept people for who and what they are and I like to celebrate difference and diversity – In a nutshell - each to their own.
A few months back we met a lovely tribe on a rather distant Island. They welcomed us ashore, covered us in oils (Canola I believe), gave us a lovely massage and then put us into a large tub of warm water (Cooking Pot)
After months at sea, we were only too happy to be, spoilt with an exotic bath. Next minute we’re floating with cabbages and enjoying what I thought was some kind of local skin moisturizing treatment.
I was wrong - Turns out the evening meal we were being ‘prepared’ for was infact me and the Wife (Miss Lucy Drawers).
Now I’ve always been one who posseses the ‘Gift of the Gab’ so to speak and before long I managed to talk me way out of it quite nicely by convincing ‘em to try my old Mums special Vegetable Goulash recipe.
Well what do you know – next minute, ‘Bobs your Uncle’ we’re both presented with a nice clean towel and a comfy pair of slippers, welcomed into two plush armchairs as the local ‘cover band’ starts to play the Beatles – Brilliant it was - I like the Beatles!
Well it must have been the ultimate ‘Boyle up’ because ever since that hearty broth was consumed, they’ve completely changed their ways.
Now Full vegetarian and off the meat for life – Job done!
PS – my skins never looked so good – Turns out ya just cant beat a good cabbage facial – I suggest you try it!
Enjoy the song and try to keep out of trouble – thats my job!
Over ‘n’ Out!
