Poetry from Treasure Island:
If sailor tales to sailor tunes,
Storm and adventure, heat and cold.
If schooners, islands, and maroons
And Buccaneers and buried Gold,
And all the old romance, retold
Exactly in the ancient way,
-So be it, and fall on! If not,
If studios youth one no longer crave,
His ancient appetites forgot,
Kingston, or Ballantyne the brave,
Or Cooper of the wood and wave:
So be it also! And may I
And all my pirates share the grave
where these and their creations lie!
Robert Louis Stevenson

WOW, Liddybug, I thought you had written that up to the very end!
I bet you could do something very similar, though, don’t you?
