Peg Leg Pete Was A Pirate

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 ?"
