If I was a Pirate,
I'd sail the seven seas.
I'd pillage and I'd plunder,
And do whatever I so please.
I'd get a vicious crew,
Of villains and cutthroats.
We'd plunder defenseless vessels,
And even burn their boats.
I'd be the Captain of my crew,
They'd never slack or sigh.
And if they disobeyed me,
Well, then they would die.
I'd acquire all kinds of treasures,
And hoard all of my wealth.
Of course I'd give the crew some,
But I'd kept most of it myself.
I wouldn't follow any rules.
I wouldn't show up on time.
And If I were to write a poem,
It would not even rhyme.
I'd never have to do chores,
I'd leave that to my mates.
I'd make them swab the deck,
And wash and dry the plates.
I'd be the best Pirate,
Ever to sail the sea!
Everyone in the world,
Would tremble in fear of me.
...But I'm not a Pirate,
I'm just sitting here at home.
I'll probably never be a Pirate,
So that's the end of this poem.
P.S. I thought of this on my spare time, walking from Geometry to Speech... Hey, it's a long walk what else am I supposed to do?....

This is really, really clever. Now you just have to illustrate it and you've got a great kids book. (And I should know, since I've seen my fair share of dumb ones these days.)
yep Pirates are a good topic for anything
