Skull and Crossbones

One day I saw a pirate ship,

Sailing on the sea.

And then that hunk of floating bark,

Opened fire on me.

I peeked out of my window,

Around me was my roof.

Unfortunately my little house,

Was not cannon proof.

Pirates, I thought to myself,

The town I have to warn.

So I headed out down through my door,

Glanced at home, quite forlorn.

But that pirate ship moved mighty fast,

More balls were shot at me.

Always landing on my bridge,

Never in the sea.

Gee, I thought, this bridge I walk,

Is exceedingly long.

I'd have to rethink my transport plans,

Once that pirate ship was gone.

Yet the pirate ship kept firing,

My bridge started to go boom.

I made it to the mainland far,

But I felt a sense of gloom.

The bridge behind me had collapsed,

No going home for me.

And that ship docked at Scuttle Town,

Disgorged depravity.

And then came another cannon ball,

No, a capsule, it was fired.

Disgorged pirates to attack,

My patience had expired.

And out came Risky, the 'pirate queen,'

To me began to mock.

Then off to haul some booty (ugh),

As if working on the clock.

I glanced at my shack, far and ruined,

Part of a ruined day.

Well, Scuttle Town it's time to save,

So don't stand in my way.
