Henry Morgan Pirate of the Caribbean

Henry Morgan Pirate of the Caribbean Henry Morgan is my name Pirating is my fame My story has been told There’s only one I claim 1635 was the year of my birth The eldest son of a gentleman farmer In Llanrhymny, Wales. I had no desire in filling the shoes of my father With hopes of adventure and fun I left to seek my fame and fortune Shanghaied and shipped off to the West Indies and sold in Barbados was my misfortune I survived and regain my freedom and was recruited by a pirate crew Prospering in my new profession we bought our own ship and sailed the ocean blue Raiding the Caribbean Spanish settlements earning us a reputation as ruthless fearsome, villainy buccaneer pirates under old Dutch pirate Capt. Edward Mansveltz In 1672 I was brought up on charges. Attacking Panama violated a treaty between England and Spain. Found not guilty Instead Knighted by King Charles II and set free Knighted pirate of the Caribbean 12/29/2015 Poetry Contest: A storm on the Spanish Main Sponsored by: Joe Maverick
