Poem 024 - The Pirate Song

I'm a pirate, I do as I please. I sail my ship 'cross the seven seas. I rape and I pillage, And I'll ransack your village! Your booty I will take and seize. When I was young, I was left alone. Me mum left me all on my own. I cut one of my eyes, And to her surprise, I left her for ol' Davey Jones. I'm a pirate, as fierce as they come. I'm not friendly, I won't be your chum. When you see me commin', You best be a runnin', Or you'll have me sword up your bum. When people see me, they cower in fear. They be wettin' their pants, and sheddin' a tear. I'll be jammin' my sword, Into their vocal chord. Their pleadin' I don't want to hear. Bird on my shoulder, ring in my ear. Makes me a pirate, not a bloomin' queer. If you want your ears pierced, You better be fierce. I'll charge you a Buck-an-ear! I have no place to call my home. The open sea's where I like to roam. It is my pleasure, To be searchin' for treasure. Then bury it deep in the stone. I'm the Cap'n of this here ship. From the very back to her very tip. Don't be forgettin' your rank, Or you'll be walkin' the plank. Becareful you don't fall and slip. I'm a pirate, stealin's my game. Some say it's my middle name. When I come a plunderin', My cannons will be a thunderin'. That's how I've earned my fame. Written January 17th, 2002 © on Jan 17 2002 02:23 PM PST   10 • 0
