Sebastian the Two-Bearded Hand, Part Three

They entered the jungle, these brave pirate guys,
The prospect of wealth shining bright in their eyes.
With pirate swords drawn, onwards they trekked,
Slicing up vines 'til the jungle was wrecked.
Until quite suddenly the group did discover
A house in a clearing, and then several others.
From within these houses emerged several midgets,
Some cats and some dogs, and an alien named Widget.
The pirates they paused; they were rather aghast
As these unusual villagers surrounded them, fast.

Sebastian strode forward, raised his sword aloft.
He leered and he spoke: "Ahoy there," he scoffed.
"We be great pirates, and seekin' great treasure,
And cuttin' ye jungle up just for good measure.
Give us ye food, drink, and ye wenches fair,"
He demanded of them with a menacing stare,
"And give us a guide, to show us the way
To the great treasure we seek on this day."
Widget approached, a scowl set on his face,
And seized Sebastian in a manly embrace.

The Captain he froze, unsure what to say,
For he was not often embraced in this way.
Then Widget did smile, and stepped back to look
Up at Sebastian, and said, "You old crook,
You don't remember, do you, at all,
The time that we met at the Indigo Ball?"
Sebastian considered and furrowed his brow.
His look of confusion soon turned to a frown.
"I met someone there, and purple he were,
But he was tall and drank orange liqueur."

Widget did nod, and stepped back again.
"I understand. But watch now, my friend."
And Widget did grow, did twist and reshape,
While every pirate did watch, all agape.
Within mere moments the alien had grown;
Held no trace of the shortness he'd previously shown.
His face, too, had changed, had lengthened somewhat,
Had grown a small beard and his eyes were bloodshot.
Sebastian was shocked, and could barely breathe.
"Ye Lordy... Kip? Is it ye that I see?"

The alien nodded, and smiled rather weakly.
"It is me indeed," he did confirm meekly.
"I don't understand," the Captain declared.
Then as his shock subsided and at Widget he glared,
He asked of the alien with a masculine sigh:
"How can ye shapeshift, and why did ye lie?"
Widget showed sorrow, and regretfully said:
"I'm afraid that my answer would explode your head.
For it is a tale of pixies and spice
And environmentally-friendly advice."

"However, my friend," he dared to exclaim,
"You haven't yet told me where you got your name.
It fascinates me, this name you possess."
(At this the crew's faces displayed some distress.
They knew what could happen when someone requested
The reply to the question Sebastian detested.)
Yet Widget it seemed was quite unaware,
And he seemed immune to the pirate crew's glare.
But then Sebastian stood straighter, and spoke:
"Arr, I shall explain it to ye village folk."
