My Dear "Pirate"

Your last words to me; "How much more weight are you going to lose?"
I replied; That I was at 150 lbs plus and that I had hopes of making 145 lbs or less.
If I had known that was to be the last time.
I was going to see and speak you on this earth.
I might have talked till I was blue in the face.
And I might have spoken those things in my "Letter to the Pirate"
Three days later you would be dead.
Now it's too late.

Semper Fidelis
Ricardo
