Merry Men A Wanderin'

 

We were nothing more than gallows-meat,

A motlier crew you were ne'er to meet,

Yey call us ye pirates, but free men we be,

We long for ye adventure we live for, y'see?

 

Blades o' fortune we was, desperados to sea,

Seafaring men in ye Brotherhood, we,

Ye sweet trade we live for, f'ye game we may die,

About a free ship we sail ‘n a free flag we fly.

 

No bunters on board, we've no need of ye scum,

Instead we drink silly on gunpowder rum,

It deadens ye loins but it fires up ye brain,

We drank Hangman's Blood, lots, t' deaden ye pain.

 

For ye grog ad ye broad piece we maraud along,

Best pray you hear not ye wanderers' song,

They'll hang me at low tide if ever I'm got,

If first they can avoid me blunderbuss shot.

    What a pity I didn't see your camp little pirates contest earlier as I could have written a poem about rum, buggery and the lash on board "The Golden Behind", a very butch vessel. This poem is a bit hetero for me.

    LOL....

    Blimey chap! This is one good rap. Seriously...not much into pirates, though interestingly enough I wrote a poem about 'em I've not posted yet. Too bad I didn't know about your Contest & hadn't the time to enter. I like the content, rhyme & flow of this even though you mention things I have no clue about like: 'gunpowder rum' & 'Hangman's Blood'! Sounds like mighty strong drink. I'm sure from the looks of it you'll enjoy your time here Pirate!

    Straight away i like this...
    the first stanza surprises the reader when the expected
    end word is.....instead of the word ...sea...which was to be expected....
    the poets throws a curve and bends it...."y' see"
    Very creative ..
    Like an old tale from the days of yore....

    Peace,
    Lowell Poe.

    Grand is the ship that returns to the sea
    Three masted schooner and I in command
    Planned was our voyage by royal decree
    Free from the ward and confinement of land

    Tales have been told about treasure ‘n gold
    Bold are the seamen who set canvas sails
    Whales swim beside us as part of our fold
    Behold the sea for her grace never fails

    Now hear of me crew, they be hearty ‘n brave
    Slave to the sea from our stern to our bow
    Plow into the wind with each white cap wave
    They’ve given a pledge and they’ve made a vow

    Free be we pirates that rule o’er the sea
    Me and me crew are the “girls of the sea”
