Pirate!

This man o' war, comandeered! By men to be feared, the likes you never saw The hunt for gold doubloon in the Spanish Main Must end soon, the buccaneers getting restless again To take a treasure ship as a prize To see,such wealth with ones's own eyes Satins,silks,pearls and gold, these pirates,so bold! Silver,rubies,emeralds and sapphires too, a pirates quest For they sail the ocean blue, not willing to rest until they get the ultimate treasure chest These rich green isles set in sea so blue Bright sun, for so many nautical miles By musket and gun Treasure ships attract pirate crew Such exotically named ships and the terror they invoke Fiery Dragon,Revenge,Adventure Galley Rising Sun,Fancy and of course...Black Joke The Caribbean,a favourite hunting ground Sails unfurled, they stalk the seas of the world Unrelenting in their desire for treasure mound Ripple of shrapnel, Lunge of grapple Laying of grapeshot, this is a pirates' lot This cannon to make ships heave to Powder and ball, on a sea so blue Treasure! A pirates call. This lush tropical isle, so green The like, you have never seen Where pirates pertake in cunning and guile This white beach.............. The haunt of Blackbeard The infamous Edward Teach! Gold,satins,silks and rubies too Diamonds, pearls, they will persue Spanish galleons of gold, the best prize to hold For the pirates of the Spanish Main, treasure,an ill gotten gain The risk high The rewards to hope........... The likely outcome, for some............ dangling at the end of a rope This treasure buried on some tropical green isle Waiting to be found, by cunning and guile Doubloons,silver abound! Emeralds,rubies and sapphires too, all waiting on a sea of blue To be discovered.................. By you.
