Poem
My mind was relieved when my treasure was found A matey retrieved it by scouting around The pirate ship captain made sure that I knew That me and my booty could stay with the crew To all the dear pirates who thought I was bait I gave them a hug and a kiss for the wait For walking a plank and a plop in the sea I'm grateful to know they would drop in for me The captain was grinning and warming his chair He said I was winning by charming him there I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek He gave me a bug that persisted a week He thought I was sobbing or so he surmised For robbing is only for pirates despised We spoke of the men who were glad I was back To pick up their duties and all of their slack The lady who dumped me was sure I was dead For robbing and killing may go to your head Her joy was to rob all the men of their stash By making them jump for the sake of their cash I thanked my dear captain for finding my gold But then I refused to be found in his fold I told him a vision of me that is true For robbing and killing is not what I do I spoke of a lady more fun by the day Who wakes me up early but only to play The gift of her love is the joy in my life For which I am hoping to make her my wife We met by the tulips that blossom and bring The beauty of lips that we share in the Spring I gave her my heart for the joy in her own By acting the part of a boy that is grown Unlike other pirates who pay by the drink I saved all my rights for the way that I think I could not foresee where my hunger might lead But love is the fruit when my heart is the seed I used my new seashell to summon the whale Who rescued my life with a flip of her tail I knew she would come in the course of her day To join with us some in the horse of her play We paddled a boat to be close to her reach I knew she would vote to be far from the beach We laughed and we played on her spout for a bit When sharks were about then we knew that was it I said my goodbye to that lass by the sea I longed for the day when her class would be me My waiting was longer than lovebirds can sing The chance for a ship was my new passing thing ...
