Now I,m the Pirate and share this same poem with my two Grandchildren. Hope you like it....



I saw a ship a sailing,
a sailing on the sea.
And it was deeply covered with all lovely things for me.
There were Raisins in the cabins,
and Almonds in the hold.
The sails were made of silk while the masts were made from gold.
There were four and twenty white mice running around the decks with four and twenty ribbons tied around their necks.
The Captain was a duck who wore a little hat and when the ship began to move the Captain said QUACK QUACK.


Love You Dad. Your Always in my heart.


Your Girl Marionxx
