Paper Pirates

Alan .S. Jeeves

 

A fold-paper ship of such handsome build

Floating along in a calm rippling stream;

Delights a young boy, enchanted and thrilled,

Hypnotized by the water, clear, agleam.

 

Pirates and shipmates imagined on board,

Seven Seas sailors all hearty and brave.

Treasure and riches, a wonderful hoard,

Set sail for an isle ~ and some secret cave.

 

Singing the songs to the tune of the pipe

Deep throated voices from black bearded lips.

Rousing sea shanties of many-a-type,

Tales of deeds done on watery trips.

 

But now a wild current swells in the weir...

His heroes and daydreams all disappear.
