Sea Wolves

Galleons, uncharted oceans,
honest merchantmen take heed,
hijacked by the vile and shameless,
paradigms of pirate greed.

Storied legends blaze through ages,
rape and pillage mark the sway 
of buccaneers hell bent on mayhem,
cannons blast in fierce array.

Without compassion for a compass,
murderously resolute,
they take no prisoners, show no mercy,
sack the sea lanes, dissolute.

Aye! 'Tis such as oft be thought... Mayhap by few mayhap it ought. Nay! Nay! Now so doth chant sound well... Ye've ay'rd it all as did'st they tell. T'other tales ring truer then... Them whot's come o'SeaWolf's pen!
