Peg Leg Pete was a pirate. He wasn't very good. Tried to steal a treasure chest, at least he thought he could. Crept into that cavern where Blackbeard had it stored. Hurt his back when he picked it up then felt old Blackbeards sword. First he lost his left leg, then his arm was severed through. Buried on that golden beach, He pondered what to do. Blackbeard had him buried in sand up to his neck The evening tide came in at him he was a nervous wreck. A little parrot saw his head and thought it was a stump. Crapped on it and blinded Pete old Blackbeard said "Hurrumph!" No fun to drown a blind man who can't see the water rise! So Blackbeard thought of something else another wee surprise. He tied him to the cannon port spread eagle facing in, lit the fuse on the cannon then Pete began to grin. He stuck his head in the cannons mouth and when it went Kaboom, It blew Blackbeard to kingdom come! "Now would I lie to You ?"
