With the wind <br />free as a breeze <br />We are confined <br />to the open seas <br /> <br />with Gunpowder Gertie <br />under the deep blue sky's <br />we wonder the oceans <br />the depths we defy <br /> <br />we round the cape <br />we sail dead straight <br />to lunge against other ships <br />no one sings all tight lips <br /> <br />we get to grips <br />then we shoot <br />board the ship <br />take the loot <br /> <br />we would follow our Lady <br />off the end of the plank <br />we would even dive in <br />if the ship sank <br /> <br />Gunpowder Gertie <br />is our captain <br />she was a little dirty <br />but not insane<br /><br />David Darbyshire<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gunpowder-gertie/
