Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Wine

T’was on a dark and windy night

That Jean Claude arrived back home

Where In drunken stupor

he saw his wife

was not alone

With anger raised

and sword held high

he swung his frame aloft

upon the balcony outside bedroom

where he loudly coughed

“Unhand fair maiden”

Jean Claude slurred

as he strode into the room

grabbing the man with a dangerous roar

that was stifled very soon

Poor jean Claude with spirit raised

from too many bottles of wine

had staggered into the house next door

the house next door to mine

For you see I am his wife

the one left waiting alone

for my wine swilling fool of a husband

to find his way back home

    Well...

    For Janice, the first one I found was from Hebrew meaning "God is gracious", or, "gift from god"...

    Then I tried Pickett, found some French relations, and one that Pickett might have been derived from...Picot, which of course made me think of Jean-Luc-Piccard of the Star Ship Enterprise (I mean it's obvious right?)

    So that about opens the door to anything.

    So your prompt?...well, it has to be...

    Yo ho ho, and a bottle of wine.
