Eons ago pirate ship sailed oceans wild
Old Jolly Rodger flew proudly in the wind
It met its demise when crew were beguiled
On merciless rocks it was pinned.
These days just a pile of rotting timber
Lead treasure chest is who knows where
Crew long dead are spirits that whisper
When they died did they utter a prayer?
White bleached bone is scattered on shore
Mixed with timber from doomed ghost ship
Ocean is angry and seagulls' soar
Desolation prevails held tight in its grip.
