The Swagger of a Pirate Queen
She had that arrogant all-knowing walk,
That warned pirates to get out of her way.
The walk that made mean women gossip,
The swagger of her womenfolk of May.
Captain, she came aboard the pirate ship,
With the swaggiest swag we had ever seen.
Nobody gave her even a bit of lip.
She grabbed our gold treasure. She was a queen.
Captain, I would not have believed it myself,
But her swagger kept us from fighting her.
Women from May island, each aided by elf,
Captain, what could we do but bow and defer?
