Chronicles from the Fat man’s Chest.Chronicles from the Fat man’s Chest.Chronicles from the Fat man’s Chest.Chronicles from the Fat man’s Chest.

I think it was a hot sultry June afternoon,When I first heard the long distance tune,It was a common meeting place,But only voices, No face,7 great ships had raised their flags to the pinnacle,To be a part of this armada called Oracle.And thus begins the chronicle…Knowing what the great 08 fleet had brought,A huge chest of talent in the lot,Strategy was mapped to perfection,We spun the wheel to begin navigation.14 moons later the stars aligned,It had to happen probably pre-destined,For the great ships to meet in unison,The chosen port was Imperial Sheraton.They walked on the new found land,Hunted for food in bin tang.

Shopped furiously from tower to tower,Ending the day under the Imperial Shower.Before they realized, it was time for sunrise,All the inmates had a big surprise,They were at the captain’s behest,Sharp at 9 was his first request!No fluff, only good stuff.Decorated officers spoke of their glorious boats,Why they wanted us to wear their coats,Saying ,”If you have to stay afloat,You should learn to row their boat”,This is was the initial greet,What followed was a need to think on their feet,Equipped with the mighty cannon - sales 101,Every boat seemed “this was the one”Then came the real thing,The top the middle and base ring.They needed to choose the right fit,But it would require a lot of grit.The only respite was the food at night,They could chose to their delight,

KLCC Buharry or Pavillion,They went everywhere Riding their stallion.Those who preferred to stay insideSlowly crept out in the night,With a little wine in the blood,You could see the moon in the hood.Up in the loft doing the Jungle dance ,All of them were in a trance.Many moons later came august 8,The dreaded date, after which they would separate,While the world flew to the birds nest,They had had their final test.Which once they thought impossible,Was now easily acceptable.Little did they realize,That they could so well strategize,Showcasing plans to find new treasures and wealthPromises of another world, or benefits of a sailor’s health,After all the heart break and sorrow,The captains were pleased with the show,Finally they breathed a sigh of relief,
