jolly rogers
There were jolly rogers at Poole quay many years ago when hearties sang those pirate dirges and had lots of rum on stow there were cannons in the galleries and contraband to store there were flags a top the galleons then and wenches on the shores those rogers boys they did sail ships they decked the ships of surfing blue they traveled o'er the rolling waves from Bristol up to Poole the smugglers haunts were rich in tea and many kinds of shag upon the shores of lulworth cove where country folk would brag the king of pirates sailed the seas and prospered on his gain whilst woodes the captain sailed these lands to there and back again from Poole side docks where merchant men sold rope and fish Newfoundland was rich in gain when rogers sailed the seven seas from docks and back again the jolly roger blew that day and the wind was all in gain whilst sailor men and ladies fair sailed the Spanish main all pirates bold and stories told from Poole and back again the rogers clan was set to gain a place in history from woodes great crews and sailors blue who sailed the ships of poole fame in history's great books from Poole to Timbuktu Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
