On the Cornish coast in caves <br />The pirates hid their treasure <br />Gold doubloons and precious gems <br />With kegs of rum for pleasure <br /> <br />Secret passageways they built <br />So no one saw them going <br />From the village to the caves <br />Used for their treasure stowing <br /> <br />On the high seas pirates plundered <br />Merchant ships they liked the most <br />Sailing with the Jolly Roger <br />Homeward bound to Cornish Coast <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles & Rhymes<br /><br />David Threadgold www.davidthreadgold.com<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/3-cornish-pirates/
