Pirate Captain Suspects Pelican Pete
There are pelican prints on this map the suspicious sea captain said.
We all denied seeing a fowl using his desk, for we wanted our heads.
He had a cutlass and was not afraid to use it on any of us.
I know you know about Peter, he said. He’s an ornery cuss!
Peter the Pelican is actually trying to get us all to agree.
To overpower the captain and have a gay mutinee.
We did not know what to do, so we lied through our teeth.
He did not believe some of us, we walked the plank and fell underneath.
