There once was an aging pirate bold <br />Who captured a shy young miss. <br /> <br />“Oh, please, bold pirate, touch me not, <br />Nor try to force a kiss; <br />Oh, tie me not to yonder mast, <br />Nor rip my velvet gown; <br />Oh, please touch not my pantaloons <br />And try to pull them down...” <br /> <br />But all her pleas were gone for naught <br />And all her words ignored, <br />So up to the pirate bold she strode <br />And kicked him overboard! <br /> <br /> <br />(2004)<br /><br />John Bliven Morin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-pirate-and-the-maiden/
