Sit down my lass, ill tell you a tale,
About the night a ship set sail.
It had a strong build and deep within
Were chests of gold, and bottles of gin.
It’s huge black sails, it’s when there up you see,
You know it’s a sign you have to flee.
It was a ship of pirates, so it is told,
They set out to kill, and steal all the gold.
They kill anyone who passes them bye
And not a single pirates afraid to die
The ship set sail after the sun went down
The moon was out and nobody was around.
On the starboard side, the captain he stands
Staring out to sea, with a map in his hands.
They sailed out into the dead of the night,
They had their plan, and were ready to fight.
After a while, they arrived at some land,
With a dagger between teeth, and swords in their hands.
They killed all the people, and set fire to the town,
Before raiding the place, and stealing all gold they found
With bags of gold and no one left in sight,
They sailed back into the dead of the night.
Is this a myth? Or is it true?
That my dear friend is up to you!

I think you had the start off pretty good but it got quite repetitive afterwards.I mean how many times did you mention the stealing of gold, and the fact that they left at night.Regardless it was a good write and thanks so much for entering.
