Pirates Crossbones Poem by Della Perry

I saw a ship a-sailing
Out into the fog
The flag was a -flailing
High above the smog.

The crossbones and the skull
Flying in the breeze
Pirates hanging from the hull
Ready to board with ease.

Everyone is shouting
All are very scared
As we catch a sight of him
That pirate with black beard.

He raises up his cutlass
We try to turn the ship
But we've NO chance, as
The Pearl comes on us quick!

The pirate lifted sword
I whispered 'My, oh my! '
The last thing that I ever saw
Was the Jolly Roger fly.
