Once a time
Toree Q.
Once a time
While pirates roamed
When kings and queens
Never wrote
A pirate’s life
Of singing songs
About the stars
Gave foot
When one day,
Through the telescope,
Mate 13 yelled,
“Land ashore!”
As quick as can be,
The captain screamed,
“Land ahoy!
Let us be keen!”
Mates 1 to 12
Manned the oar
While mate 13
Saw his telescope
Once they reached
The island green,
A treasure hunt
Took Ho.
For this green island
Came to be
Blackbeard's stash
Of treasury!
Mate 10 found
Mr. Blue
He yelled, “Captain,
Captain, a prisoner to you!”
“Thank you, thank you.”
Said he,
Unaware of Blue’s
Descendancy
For Blue came to know
That his uncle,
Great old Blackbeard
Was not that low
He was a captive day
And night
Never did he put
A fight
He died alone
Mr. Blue
And that was all
We knew
Until we learned
That he,
Had the key,
To great Blackbeard’s treasury!
