We sat for a meal, straight from the pirate's booty, at Meehan's Irish Pub in St. Augustine, Florida. Salmon with the potatoes of mash, Shepherd's Pie! Certainly not a Spaniard's delite but a delicacy from Europe the less none. We sat in the back bar of Meehans and toasted to the most against a horse tie post. Narragansett pounders were on the manifest while the crocs in the fort's drained moat are able to flounder. The Spaniard's former fortress and sentry post, dauntless in the bat infested nite sky. The sentry posts and silhouette ghosts bring immortality to Ponce de Leon and the youthful fountain that perpetuates on the shores of Matanzas Bay. Knee deep in 16 ouncers, the cannons keep the ruse, imagining to ruin a koothless evening cruise of party boaters. Bring out the gators, flood the moats, isolate the aggressors and make them remote. Fire the cannon balls, guard the sentry towers and engage in the historical brawls. Defending cargo and freighters, protecting the Bay from haters.
