Henrey Morgan a Storm On the Spanish Main

Henry Morgan is my name Being a pirate is my fame A landlubber wasn't for me Fortunes were made at sea From port and starboard cannons roar Through Spanish ships cannonballs tore Strike your colors or face our scorn Cutlass and pikes will make you regret being born Merchant ships we looted, plundered and sank Prisoners were ransomed or walked the plank Raiding West Indies settlements was fun Loved the pieces of eight, wenches, and rum The Governor shivered at night in bed His King put a price on my head Buccaneers way were over or face harm Keep on and you will swing from the yardarm Poetry Contest: A storm on the Spanish Main Sponsored by: Joe Maverick Sir Henry Morgan, Nickname "Barbadosed" born 1635, died 25 August 1688 (age 53) The Pirate Who Invaaded Panama in 1671 Buccaneer and pirate, admiral and general, country gentleman and planter, custos and judge of the court of Vice-Admiralty, governor and knight ¬ all are titles he held
