Yo ho, me hearties <br />A pirate be I. <br /> <br />I swabbin' the deck <br />for a cappin' who lie. <br /> <br />Yo ho, me hearties <br />Ye scurvey dogs, ho! <br /> <br />Ye walkin' the plank <br />For no'r'else t' go! <br /> <br />I sit and I rot in the galley all day <br />cookin' up stews of mice and of hay <br /> <br />Yo ho, me hearties <br />Fine strumpets, play I. <br /> <br />For no loved up lass <br />be forgettin' my cry. <br /> <br />Yo ho, me hearties <br />Hear yon' bell ring two <br /> <br />I hang from the gallows <br />for not else to do!<br /><br />Erica Francis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pirates-tale-not-a-very-good-poem/
