They say he was a legend,

A great captain of the seas.

For he always loved an adventure,

And the company of thieves.

*

He set sail one stormy night,

The rage of it was brewing.

Under the bright light of the moon,

He said he knew what he was doing.

*

‘O’er there!’ cried the ship’s first mate,

They couldn’t believe their eyes,

The swells of the ocean were enormous,

They could sense their approaching demise.

*

The storm was just too mighty,

He knew they were doomed from the start.

The ship clearly never stood a chance,

This captain met his end for following his heart!
