PIRATE POEMS!!

Well, WHAT a lovely surprise I had two nights ago, when Miss Read emailed me to tell me some exciting news...her children had read my poem called 'Captain Cut-throat' from my book 'Teachers Pick their Noses' (no, that's NOT the exciting news...just be patient!) and that they had then written their own versions (getting more exciting, but that's STILL not the exciting news...). She then sent me a copy of three of the poems that some of her children had written, and they were AMAZING! And now, here they are, on my website, in all their glory. Well done you three! (And yes, THAT is the exciting news! You're on the internet, on my blog. Woo hoo!!!). The only problem is, Miss Read did not tell me which school she's from and I've forgotten (oops!). So please could you ask her to let me know.

Here are the poems..

Captain Vine

Captain Vine sails the seas,

With the world's most horrible disease,

Putrid warts all over his knees,

The only antidote is frozen peas.

Captain Vine sails the seas,

Always running away from tiny bees,

He has really scruffy hair,

And looks just like a grizzly bear.

Captain Vine sails the seas,

And always does a really big sneeze,

While pirate Dave tries to keep clear,

And tries to steer.

Captain Vine sailed the seas,

One fine day his crew stole his keys,

They locked him up at the bottom of the boat,

The poor old captain could not stay afloat.

Captain Cruel

Captain Cruel sails the seas,

Itching like mad because of fleas,

She has to drink lime,

All of the time!

Captain Cruel sails the seas,

But she's scared of honey-making bees,

Around and around the boat they flew,

Scaring all the pirate crew.

Captain Cruel sails the seas,

The deep blue seas is what she sees,

Swishing around the famous land,

Overlapping the crusty sand.

Captain Cruel sails the seas,

One cool day she lost her keys,

The keys were locked in her room,

She could not see them for the gloom.

Captain Cruel sailed the seas,

One cold day she started to sneeze,

All day long she could not stop,

Eventually her head blew off!

Captain Vega

Captain Vega sails the seas,

Cats on board, even though they make her sneeze,

Says "Have no fear,

Land is near!"

Captain Vega sails the seas,

With pus-leaking warts that smell like cheese,

She got very ill,

And one pirate wrote a diary, with a quill.

Captain Vega sails the seas,

She's afraid of honey-making bees,

Suddenly, all the bees came,

Pirates thought the captain was lame.

Captain Vega sailed the seas,

Crafty pirates stole her keys,

They pushed her over the side of the boat,

She could not stay afloat.
