Captain Steered Us To the Keys

Doctor with his lanky pirate legs
Aptly put together Gimpy’s pegs.
On the Seven Seas
Said it was a breeze
We know little about Captain Meggs

Please do not feed me your rotten eggs
Young captured cabin boy often begs
Captain liked his pleas.
Steered us to the Keys.
To secret treasure and hidden kegs!

Amusing and didactic Limerick dear, Caren!

Thank you Demetrios. I stopped and thought "wait! they both have to rhyme! Ugh!" but then I did it.
