Once long ago and far, far away
two fools searched for an exotic bay
they sailed the sea, of lofty dreams
sometimes, all was not as it seems
Captain Pat ran a mighty ship
through the darkness it could slip
now these fools they had a plan
and so the journey soon began
Truedessa's head always in a cloud
voices in the Captain's head were loud
their imaginations had no end
and many stories they did pen
On this Hallow Eve,
a saga begins
their vessel suddenly starts to spin
Truedessa yells "what's going on,
the heavenly stars are now gone"
The Capt'n shouts "we need light,
we'll crash in darkness this night"
tossed about, the ship roughly moans
Truedessa takes out magical stones
a portal of light suddenly appears
sending them in a strange sphere
their ship they can no longer steer
trying to suppress their rising fear
hovering near with a giant wingspan
two red eyes glowing, a moth-man
a creature of the darkness and night
determined to steal the pairs light
the two would have none of that
pondering the Capt'n took off his hat
Truedessa whispered in his ear
"a lighthouse stands on the coast near"
Meanwhile, moth-man is shooting flares
from his fiery eyes at the foolish pair
Capt'n cautiously
devises a scheme
we can bring you where light beams
The moth-man agrees, but if they fail
the two will never again set sail
they approach the
beacon of light
suddenly, a ghostly figure takes flight
An eerie voice, " who dares to pay a call"
lost souls reside
within these walls
Truedessa's who's not afraid of any ghosts
demands to meet the creepy host
Moth-man's eyes are shooting fiery darts
one hits the Capt'n , that wasn't smart
he draws his sword, there will be hell to pay
the journey is not so fun this day
Truedessa quickly ran up many flights
ghostly figures try to bring her fright
Capt'n
"yells" TURN UP THE LAMPS
TURN UP THE AMPS"
Turning up the wick, oil worked quick
Light filtered, that should do the trick
just as the moon came out of hiding
moth-man now was happy and smiling
The light-keeper nodded with glee
as lost souls could now be set free
Truedessa and Captain Pat were relieved
for in the light they both did believe
Exhausted they returned to their ship
into a deep slumber they did slip
wondering if it was all some crazy dream
when suddenly they both screamed
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

the ship of dreams...may the journey
always be kind to you!
