Ye Pirate
Reading edition
Ye Pirate sails ye briny deep: Ye Jolly Roger flies In search of some rich galleon To make a goodly prize. His motley crew of murderous mien Are rovers bold and free, And sailors tremble at his name When they put forth to sea. Ye pirate now stays safe ashore, And authors rate him when He robs ye good ship “Copyright” Of thoughts of brighter men.
