Pirate

  • by

Like a treasure you lay
Your glint in the sand
Your promise and reward
After all my adventures

But a swashbuckling
Cutlass swinging
One legged pirate
I am not

No ship did I sail
No map do I hold
No longwinded tale
Of lost pirate gold

Who's treasure do I see
Glinting in the sand
A promise with no reward
For all my adventures

For a swashbuckling
Cutlass swinging
One-legged pirate
I am not

Who's treasure do I steal
From long forgotten sands
No promise of reward
In my new adventures

For a swashbuckling
Cutlass swinging
One-legged pirate
I can be

If the treasures are mine.
