"really Bad Egg"

I “Go on Account” when I’m feeling dull, Fly a Jolly Roger with crossbones and skull; Become a “Freebooter” and Pillage and Loot, Where I can do as I please, drink and shoot; On most days a “Landlubber” I may be, But now and then I’ve love of the Sea; “Plundering Booty” in the “Sweet Trade” “The Dance with Jack Ketch” I hope to evade “Drivelswigger” usually applies to me, Without books about pillaging, where would I be; I might “Swallow the Anchor” when I’m ready to quit, But not until plenty of sins I commit! ~For A Tale O' Pillagin' Contest~
