Every Cloud

A pirate met a painter and they had a little natter Each of them seemed quite upset so what could be the matter One of them had lost a shoe and only had one left And one had lost an earring which had left him quite bereft The pirate hunted high and low, the painter did the same Neither found the thing they sought which really was a shame What good is just one earring or a solitary shoe Long John Silver told Van Gogh, I’ll do a deal with you.
