Pirate Joe

A poem

There once was a pirate named Joe.

Who sailed the seven seas on his own

He had a parrot named Saul.

And a peg leg he called Paul.

And they sailed the seas in search of treasure.

Treasure, he did find plenty

But that rascal Saul,

He brought about a mutiny

Now Joe sits on a desert island

While Saul roams the seas

With Paul in tow

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

I'm torn between wanting to laugh at Saul and Paul and wanting to feel sad for Joe. Also, I didn't see that twist coming! Lol!

I'm betting Joe is planning his revenge.
