Pirates Came and Stole Me Away

Pirates came and stole me away
They thought I was valuable, real gold.
I liked their ship, the swing and sway.
Fooling pirates never gets boring or old.

Captain came and gave a loud angry bray.
You morons, this is pyrite, fools’ gold!
They dumped me overboard that very day
I became a happy locket for a pretty mermaid bold.
