Peg-Leg Joe

First ever poem I wrote.

Peg-Leg Joe only has one leg.

His only true friend was his egg.

Peg-Leg Joe thinks that prosthetic legs make him braindead.

Joe wants the pirate way so he has a peg instead.

He would hobble and wobble and bobble all around the town.

Visiting the playground with the little kids so he can clown.

Peg-Leg Joe was fond of kids, and kids loved him.

And it is all because of his missing limb.

Joe entertained the little kids with pirate and sailor talk.

Parents took their kids away, and Joe thought it was out of mock.

One day, a fellow pirate in a blue uniform talked to Joe.

"Aye matey, stop playing with these buggers, or you'll go to the stow!"

Joe did not listen, and kept entertaining the wee kids.

The uniform pirate then tackled Joe right in the ribs!

Peg-Leg Joe fell on the ground hard and felt metal on his wrists.

"Ay, this ain't no nice pirate at all!" Joe yelled as he twists his fists.
