-Absolutely Not Famous-
Connor J Sheffield
A Poem for Pirates
Ya'll be trapped in the locker
Of the Devilish Davy Jones
The beast will gobble you up
And spit out all ye bones
Ya'll be sailing the open seas
Scrubbing the deck,
Ya'll be on ye knees
Buccaneers set the sails free
You're nothing more than a Pirate!
And a Pirate, is all you can be!
To be a Pirate
You don't need treasure or greed
A bottle of rum is all ye need
Yo ho ho
To Tortuga we go
Men of the mast are a loyal crew
If you are not loyal they'll be after you
Ye better be warned if you're a Captain at sea
Treat the men right, or there'll be a mutiny!
