Black Flag White Skull and Cross Bone

Rigged smart and decks clean,
sails full, she bounds the blue sea…
Rudder amid ship the cry from above,
as she glides smoothly, clear and free…

Salt in the wind, and a hot bright sun,
squinting eyed pirates making a run…
Their hearts full of vigor, and minds on the gold,
the treasure they may find, aboard ships of old…

Their muskets are ready their swords flail the air,
pistols and powder dispensed with a’ flair…
The mates checked, and ready to die,
one weathered, with a black patch, over his left eye…

All have an ear ringed, to pay their death’s toll
to be buried at sea along the shore’s shoal…
They will sail out to find a suited land,
to burry their booty, plotting maps, paved in the sands…

Only they will have access and knowledge alone,
marked with black flag, white skull, and a cross of bone.
