 The stories have all vanished

Replaced with financial difficulties 
torn patches and eye patches 
Tossed away like old peg legs
Seawater in your scabbard
Mollusks everywhere
We put into port
Of despair 
And cry for the children of Mesopotamia 
Or something
Mycenaeans vs Macedonians
At winner take all at 
Lo ball jacks are wild
Pai Gow tournament parting gifts
11 boxes of steak knives are
stacked neatly in the garage
