The Good King (ePub)

Long, long, long ago
When pirates sailed the seas
There was a rascal
His name was Patch
Thats CAPN Patch, if you please!

Now ol Capn Patch was a typical pirate
He would drink and steal and swear
But now its time to be nice and find a home
Where folks are kind and fair!

My Mum was right, the Capn said
A pirates life is bad!
Its not nice to be a crook
And steal what others have!

If only I could find a place
A country I could stay.
But what kind of king would let a pirate in?
THAT would be the day!









Just then Patch heard a wiggle
Coming from the chest!
He opened the box
And there they were!
Oh boy! Now HERES a mess!

In the chest were stowaways!
In fact, they were two kids!
Howdy, Capn! Were Flip and Flop!
Thanks for flipping our lid!

We have no Moms
We have no Dads.
We thought wed take a trip!
We hitched a ride and came to town
And then we found your ship!

Were out to sea! We cant go back!
Patch shaded his eyes and looked
But if Im caught with you two squids
My goose is REALLY cooked!













Then Patch had an idea!
I know what we will do!
Im very sure that this will work
Ive thought it through and through!

We all need a home, we do
Lets stick together, us three!
You squids both need a Mum and Dad
And I just want to be free!

So if we find a kindly king
Who will let a pirate in
I bet that he will be a king
Who can help you find some kin!
