Sean Mcgrew

And have you heard the story 
Of Captain Sean McGrew,
Who sailed the mighty oceans, 
In a square rigged wooden shoe?
                                                  
His first mate was a salty dog
From east of Lilla Bay.
The ship's crew hailed from Lilligo,
In Lilliput, they say.     

Then one sad day, he lost his ship,
His crew, and all his loot,  
To a roguish band of pirates, 
In a rapid sailing, chukka boot.
