Spirits 

The pirates of the Caribbean 
Are alive in books, movies, songs (yo ho) and 
Children's imaginations. 
I mean they are alive in 
Spirit 
They seem to be reanimated especially on 
Halloween 
Cute lady pirates and tiny kiddy pirates 
Swarm candy laden neighborhoods 
Searching for sugary booty 
I am on my own search for my favorite spirit 
RUM de dum dum 
But it never fails 
When I open a bottle 
Who shows up to party and to share? 
Captain Morgan and his pal, Sailor Jer 
Ah! That's the spirit.
