An Ode to Captain Laramie Lion

Captain Laramie the Lion

Never felt at peace

On the plains of Africa

As much as the seas

The odd one out

He favoured the fish

Over the buffalo

As his favourite dish

His journey began

The day he was caught

By illegal poachers

From Somewhere up north

Locked in a cage

And put upon a ship

Laramie picked the lock

And gave them the slip

He ate every man

Upon that boat

And became the captain

And wore the captain's coat

When he reached a port

He assemble a crew

A motley bunch

Drunk from too much brew

From that day forward

Laramie road the waves with ease

No longer king of the jungle

He was now king of the seas

The End

-See you next time

An Ode To Rodney Ropebeard

Rope Beard Rodney is an old sea salt
His poison of choice is whiskey and malt

He nearly met his maker, sent by Moby Slick
The great grand whale of Moby Dick

This whale was a zombie beast stained red
From the blood of the men upon which it has fed

Rodney tried to harpoon this deathly whale
But the odds were against him he was doomed to fail

It's skin was as strong as a golden orbs web
Harpoons were useless even to the head

Moby Slick devoured the entire stinking crew
Gobbled them up like some putrid human stew

Rodney did escape and he'll tell you the tale
Of his high seas adventure with Moby Slick the whale

The End

See you next time

I am the captain of this ship

I wrote a poem to accompany the picture of the pirate that I drew

A Pirate's Poem

I shall make thee walk the plank
With hands bound ye shall sink
Mutiny I shall not permit
I am the captain of this ship

See you next time
