Ten pirates were on a ship at sea. <br />Everyday at noon, nine sang so merrily, <br />'Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. <br /> Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. <br />While the tenth banged on his drum. <br />Everynight at midnight they'd attack a different ship. <br />When they snuck up behind the captain, he always did a flip. <br />Sometimes the booty was a little silver, sometimes a little gold and then some. <br />Then nine pirates would sing <br />'Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. <br />'Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.' <br />While the tenth banged on his drum.<br /><br />Jeff Fleischer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ten-pirates-were-on-a-ship-at-sea/
