My dedication to the untiring people who are involved in the erection and maintenance of the "Black Pearl" Ship, in New Brighton, England (Google it or look it up in Facebook: The Black Pearl, New Brighton). Read my later poems' explanation for a more detail on why a person can't NOT write about this thing... :)

Black Pearl Pirate Ship versus Hurricane Bertha August 9th 2014. Liverpool was a mighty port New Brighton stood by Perch Rock Fort The Black Pearl sat on Wirral sands and stone And against Hurricane Bertha stood alone Bertha howled and shrieked anew A massive wind that blew and blew Waves and tides lashed at Black Pearl But could not unseat this ungainly girl Her wood and flotsam together held As the hurricane's fury unfurled And threw at her all that it had But could not wrest Pearl from her pad Earlier Pearls had sadly succumbed To other winds and tides and storms But this Black Pearl finally won And Wirral's wonder remained undone Noddy and his motley crew Had taken precautions and had paid their due And now as calm is once more restored Everyone can get on board Fix her up for all the kids to see (From 2 years old to seventy)
