Rumba Rue Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Here's one that just came off the top o' me head this mornin' Be a pirate, be a pirate, There's nothing like a pirate, Sailin' an robbin' with no regret, It's here I'll hang me hat, well met, Another day, another dubloon, Ne're a need to ever fret, I'll be a pirate, Yes a Pirate, 'Till twilight nears, and me life be at rest. So what can some of you do? Try and keep it clean! I know, it's hard but there's younsters reading these posts too.

Captain Rob Carroll Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Here is a good one I have found: The autumn wind's a pirate, Blustering in from sea; With a rollicking song, he sweeps along, Swaggering boist'rously. His skin is weather-beaten; He wears a yellow sash, With a handkerchief red about his head. And a bristling black mustache. He laughs as he storms the country, A loud laugh and a bold; And the trees all quake and shiver and shake, As he robs them of their gold. The autumn wind's a pirate, Pillaging just for fun; He'll snatch your hat as quick as that, And laugh to see you run! Mary Jane Carr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crow Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 The schooner pitched the decks awash the main truck sheared and sagged , the Cap'n bellowed " I'll see ye in hell before I strike me flag ! " So with the strength of a man gone mad the Cap'n turned the wheel and we peppered that brig with all we had chain shot an red hot steel. As we prepared to board the tattered brig me an fifty brothers we stood and cheered with mad delight to see her stike her colours.. Just another day at the office ???

pyratequeen Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Here is a sonnet for the pirate poetry list: A Pyrate Queen is created well by, The Captain of a fine sailing vessel. He loves her more than his ship, and well nigh gives her the devotion of a vassal. The Pyrate Queen treats her loving Captain, With amorous and eternal respect. His skills as a sailor will e’er remain Her deliverance. He she will ne’er neglect. The Wild Pyrate Queen and her Sane Captain, Sail the Seas Pillaging for a pittance, And Looting whatever else remains. Loving eternally in riotous dance. Sailing and shooting, and dancing alway, Choosing to journey the mariners way. Jannet nyk Donnachie The Pyrate Queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Sage Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Let me see... *ahem* (throat clearing for dramatic effect) Rubies are red. Sapphires are blue. I am a pirate, and if you don't prepare to be boarded, I'll slash your sails with a volley of chain, turn your hull into splinters, fill your crew with grape, board you anyway, empty your hold, find any hidden booty, keelhaul the captain, burn what's left to the waterline, and publish a book telling everyone how you screamed like a sissy as you fled in a long boat. Hang it all, I can't seem to make the last line have the right rhythm or rhyme....

capnwilliam Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Sapphires are blue, Pearls are white Rubies are red, and Diamonds shine bright. The ocean is blue, The clouds are pure white, the moon is red and the sun shines bright. My foe will be blue, and his face will turn white when his blood that is red, flows on my steel so bright.

pyratequeen Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I am a pyrate queen, not king. Me mind I change quite oft. Guile, wee tricks and antics, are for a woman so soft. These items assist in many a pyrate queen's domain. Her "weaker" self in any fight upon the main. When boarded by a pyrate King, A fight must needs ensue. This battle of the sexes ring, with steel, and sticks and brew! And so she must be wily, To win this battle hard. And use all tricks unkindly, And speak just like a bard.

Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 It's lonely here alone on deck I sit against the mast The anchor's cast into the shallows Me message bottle cast I see the ocean rolling blue The sun is setting nigh The moon doth rise in starlit skies But no tear will I cry I'll sit alone upon my deck And wait for him to come My moonlight lover, dark and sleek Drawn by the scent of rum I see him drawing ever near He strides along the shore And catches me with sin black eyes I'll be alone no more His bootheels click along my deck I offer up his prize His smile is warm, but hungry The moonlight in his eyes He takes the bottle from my grip His fingers caress my hand We drink and sing and laugh and talk And make love on the sand When the moon has gone and the sun has rose He bids me fond farewell My pirate lover gone for now Another tale to tell Return shall I to plunder and reave And slash with the devil's grin The next full moon will bring me back To eyes as dark as sin "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
