A pirates life

Contest...example

Well shiver me timbers and hoist the main sail

a pirate's life leads ye straight into hell.

Sing ye me mateys and rise a jug of ale

Everyone knows the dead tell no tale.

 

singin'

Hey , diddy , diddy and a yo, ho, ho, ho

Our hats wore up high and our swords swinin' low.

Wenches and Wayfarers better beware, there's grog in our hands and a plume in our hair.

 

Singin' Hey, diddy, diddy , yo, ho, ho, ho

we're bilge rats and scoundrels

We pillage and loot

Will walk ye down a plank and give you the boot.

 

singin'

Hey , diddy , diddy and a yo, ho, ho, ho..

Sorry I missed the day. Next year for sure.

I have too much Viking blood for my own good
and some scars to prove it.

Such fun!

This is so much fun to read! made me laugh....and want to write and talk like a pirate!
thanks for sharing, its got my mind working!

[Dillon Cotter]

great rhyme scheme!

[J.K. (Not Rowling)]

Consider me inspired. Great poem! I agree that it has the sound of an honest-to-goodness (or maybe not-so-honest) sea shantie. One minor technical point, I think you meant "our swords swinging low" not swining. Overall, a wonderful piece. I'm glad I read it :)

Loved the lyrical rythmn of this piece. Almost makes you want to walk the proverbial plank!
