Aye, it be true. This day be a PIRATE day!
There once was a pirate named Jack,
Who wore a tattoo on his back,
He absolutely loved to fight,
Believe it or not - in the night!
That funny old pirate named Jack.

There was a funny crew of two,
that needed just another few,
They went out to sea,
chose a pirate named Lee,
and now they have a proper pirate crew!

"There once was a pirate bird named Pat,
Who didn't know why he was so fat.
He sang a looong song
And got it all wrong!
But the pirate still loved that old Pat."

Pete
the Pirate Wannabe
A Funny Pirate Poem for Kids by --Kenn Nesbitt
He's Pete, the pirate wannabe.
He'll sail the seas someday.
But, first, he needs a little cash
to help him on his way.
He can't afford a parrot.
He can't afford a plank.
A peg leg's much too pricey,
and a ship would break the bank.
He cannot buy an eye patch.
He hasn't got a hat.
He'll never own a blunderbuss;
he's much too broke for that.
A dagger's too expensive.
He couldn't swing a sword.
In fact, there's only one thing
he's been able to afford.
His shopping list is lengthy,
with loads of pirate gear,
but all he has are earrings
since they're just a
buck an ear.
AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!

A book recommended by a reader:
Do you know Jan Loof's "My Grandpa Was A Pirate" 1966. It has been a favorite of my own two boys (now men) and little ones for whom I regularly read aloud. Alas, it and its author/illustrator are little known. It is a winner!
ReplyDeleteFound it on a vintage children’s book site. Thanks for the recommendation!
DeleteI decided to tweak the last three lines of the pirate limerick:
ReplyDeleteThere once was a pirate named Jack
Who wore a tattoo on his back
With a parrot who'd squawk
'Cause that tattoo did talk
And with many a verbal attack
Meredith I love it!
