There was an old pirate called John,
Who thought he was big, fat and strong,
He bumped his big head,
And then he was dead,
That unlucky pirate called John.
by Eric

There once was a pirate called Jim,
Who had a pet bird called Sim,
They sat in the sun,
And had lots of fun,
That sunburnt, old, pirate called Jim .
by Caitlin

There once was a pirate called Mark,
Who once was eaten by a shark,
He went for a dive,
And was eaten alive,
That silly old pirate named Mark.
by Alyce

There was an old pirate called Fat,
Who had an old pet rat called Nat,
He sat on a brick,
It broke like a stick,
That silly old pirate named Fat.
by Dean

 There was a fierce pirate named Len,
Who decided to write with a pen,
He was a bold man,
And he had a tan,
That fierce old pirate named Len.
by Sarah J.

There once was a pirate named Bill,
Who had a great fall and was ill,
So he sang a pop song,
And he got it all wrong,
That silly old pirate named Bill!
by Claire

There once was a pirate named Jack,
Who had a pet parrot named Slack,
He drank lots of rum,
And stole a cream bun,
That dopey old pirate named Jack!
by Claire

There was a young pirate from France,
Who said he loved to have a dance,
He got off his boat,
When it wasn't a float,
And had a dance in his new pants.

There was an old pirate named Bop,
That thought he was one of the top,
He sat on a chair,
And ate a juicy pear,
That silly old pirate named Bop.

There was a Black Beard pirate,
Who made everyone so irate.
He love to steal gold,
But he has no more mates,
That poor old seafaring pirate.
by Fiona

There was a pirate named Mark,
And on his ship he saw a shark,
He sat on a mat,
And saw a fat cat,
And he was never seen in the dark.
by Joanna

 There was a funny crew of two,
that needed just another few,
They went out to sea,
Chose a pirate named Lea,
So now they have a proper crew.
by Kirsty

There was an old pirate called Zac,
Who sailed to New Zealand and back.
He loved to wreck ships,
And hated hot chips.
That gross looking pirate named Zac.
by Isaac

There once was a pirate named John,
Who was not allowed to stay long.
He loved to find gold,
And was always cold.
But had legs, all hairy and long.
by Isaac

There was an old pirate named Mack,
Who sailed to an island and back.
He loved to steal gold
And most of it he sold
That strange old pirate named Mack
by Chris

There once was a pirate's bird named Pat,
Who didn't know why he was so fat.
He sang a long song
And got it all wrong,
But the pirate still liked old Pat.
by Chris

There was an old pirate named Pat,
Who lived with an old mucky cat.
He loved to drink rum
And hated his mum,
That naughty old pirate named Pat.
by Jaime

There once was a pirate called Jim,
Who had a girlfriend called Kim,
They walked through the gate,
And went on a date,
That loveable pirate named Jim.
by Alyce

There was an old pirate named Frank,
Who said he would pull a big prank.
But he changed his mind
Because he was blind,
That naughty old pirate named Frank.
