Changing Tack
Enrolling as a pirate is much harder than it seems, You’ll need to speak in present tense and chase your wildest dreams. Well, once you’ve trained a parrot and been measured for your hook, You have to plough through pages of the health and safety book. The pointed end’s the bow, whilst your rudder’s near the aft, Our crow’s...

Thar Be Treasure
Hie thee now by warning taught The path ahead be peril fraught Each breath taken carried past Each step taken counted last To strive against such dangers rife Tis better chance the falling knife For what portends from grand emprise By hazards wroth may be surmised That loot awaits at ventures end For those whom Deaths hand doth forfend But take thee heed and be...

When the ocean’s calm and shiny it be joyous to behold When the spyglass sights Port Royal there be good rum to be sold When a pirate holds the spyglass and his ship be filled of gold Might he take a wife and buy some rum and stay there till he’s old But a pirate ain’t for settling down...

Pirate Pete Pirate Pete sails his ship Across the seven seas, He`ll plunder loot and pillage And bring you to your knees.

Three square rigged masts With sails as dark as night, The Jolly Rodger flies above And a crew that’s fit to fight. Vagabonds and...

Pirate's Gold
I went on a journey across the land, until I got to the beach with it's golden sand. I was not here for sandcastles and a splash I've come to collect some more sea-glass. Some of it is pretty and colourful, but I prefer the black I want to get as much as possible before I head back. Black Sea-glass is...

Premium Member Run Aground
Run Aground Arr, Matey! Me ship has run aground, In this shallow world, I search for character, but none to be found. Through me spyglass, a foggy, distant world, unclear, This incessant devil bird squawking in me ear. A chest full of silver, gold, and jewels galore, But what I treasure most is a love forevermore....

Premium Member A Pirate in Retirement
He’s late-stage Charles Bukowski, Hunching gnome-like over the bar, With weary eyes, and scruffy stubble. It’s sure he must have seen some trouble. But he’s got plenty of cash in his pockets, Along with the keys to a stolen car. He smells of sea air, wet cement, and whiskey. His tattoos could be urban graffiti, Just random tags on ghetto limbs, An ancient,...
