The Pirate's Lady

Crew of scoundrels, scalawags Skulls and crossbones, on her flags Hull held low by money bags The fruitful Pirate's Lady Upon her splintered deck they rove Safely anchored, hidden cove Her belly stowed with treasure trove The faithful Pirate's Lady Treasure hidden, booby traps Clever riddles, cryptic maps Soon to return, to ivory caps So fleet the Pirate's Lady Sails at full, for seven days On east horizon, looms her prey They intercept with cannon fray The frightful Pirate's Lady
