When the tide is high
And the sails are set
And the Scurvy Dogs be wake’n
The Captain roars, “We sail ashore!
The loot be ours for the take’n”
But Scallywag Dan nervously raises a hand
And asks, “When we’re done can we have some rum?”
The captain baffled with a look to bewilder
Says, “Scallywag Dan come hither!”
Limping to the stern, Peg leg not fit to size
The Captain squinting one of two eyes—
The other replaced with a patch—
“Boy we be pirates and that’s what we do,
We pillage and plunder then drink!”
“And when there’s no rum?” asks Dan staring at the deck floor.
“We pillage and plunder some more!”
“Aye-Aye!” shout the crew putting their hands to their heads—
All except for a matey named Frank—
“Frank you have no arms and you smell rancid and rank,
For that you shall walk the plank!”

Youre probably one of the weirdest people I know.
But, this is a great poem. I love how it totally doesnt rhyme sometimes. But then it does and it makes you forget that it didnt rhyme which makes it alright.
did that make sense?
this is great. if i was a teacher, I would give you an A+ and then possibly take you out to a nice steak dinner at the outback. and that wouldnt be weird.
Great poem mic. I liked all the great words you used. This is a really weird poem though. I liked how it was about pirates. Great detail. I really liked it.
I like your poem very much. Sometimes, I wish I was a pirate.
The rhyming and word choice was awesome. Everything you write has those big words I never understand, so I have to whip out my Student's Dictionary to understand what you say, and I think it's funny.
Mic your poem was awsome. I liked how you had all that internal rhyme. it was a good poem and i could easily picture what was going on with the setting on a ship. The poem reminds me of the movie pirates of the carribean just because it generally has to do with pirates. While reading the poem, i could sense the humor that was you were trying to get across to the reader.
This was no doubt pretty snazzy. You use words and rhymes that is rich with description. And the flow was ratehr smooth if I do say so myself, and it followed an.....interesting and under every circumstance,creative...storyline. Pirates are a pretty swell thing to write about, and your certainly have a talent for writing. In your writing is such strong characteristics that even your name wasn't posted, I would have guessed that this was one of your works.
