I disembark on my trip
using nothing but my map
I encounter storms and giant waves
which throw me off my path.
The X is printed in bright red ink
right in the middle of an island,
and it's one I've never heard of
so it may be a while until I reach land.
Darkness is now creeping up,
and I see the signs of a storm.
There are heavy winds and towering waves
and sinister clouds are beginning to form.
Finally the storm passes
and I'm free to continue on my search.
My parrot is on the lookout for land...
on my shoulder, he sits, perched.
Yes, I see land!
Gold and riches await.
I depart from my ship
and race to the treasure chest; it's fate.
It opens automatically with a key
and gleams, full of gold.
Wow, everything's so beautiful.
It appears to be very old.
Avast, mateys!
