Ah here we are dear readers. The last day, the last poem. It has, as always, been a bitter-sweet journey, pushing oneself to write and create every day of this month – with results of… varying levels of success : D
For the final prompt, NaPoWriMo offers the chance to finish on a fun and quirky note – a chance I happily welcome.
PS – While I have gone with just one random bit of trivia to inspire my poem today, you may enjoy reading some of the other “Super Obscure Facts” that NaPoWriMo linked.
And now, without further ado, and to bid you adieu…
The Forever, Captain
Oh Captain, my Captain
With your glorious ‘stash
With your magic floating eyebrows
And your golden berried cache
I’ve ne’er had the pleasure
Of dining at your table
But your smile invites me to feel
I’d enjoy it if I was able
You’ve been the face of many a campaign
Your salute standing firm
And though you’ve never been promoted
You’ve steadfastly served your term
It matters not how early or late
How charged with hunger the soul
You are the master of the morning plate
You are the captain of your bowl
You’re there for your men and women
Whether breakfast, dinner or lunch
And on behalf of them I salute you
Captain Horatio Magellan Crunch
