poole pirates day


  the pirate ship was anchored in the bay
      all the lonesome sea sick sailors
      were many miles away
      the harbor lights were fading
      the moon came into view
      all the mermaids were all singing
      it was a typical crazy night in Poole

      the pubs were all shut n boarded
      there was no ale in the vaults
      the fishes were all swimming
      deep out at sea
      there were still stories in the docklands
      written down in history

      the pirate crew were merry
      just awoke from their sleep
      there were flags of skull n crossbones
      the police all took a peep
      the coastguards were alerted
      they'd stowed the ale away
      hidden it in secret caves
      down at lulworth bay

      the writer told his stories
      Robert Louis Stevenson was his name
      he wrote of treasure island
      he lived at westbournes main

      they say that Enid blyton
      lived in swanage town
      she based her tales on noddy
      corfe castle and Poole town
      the land was owned by Talbot
      given by the  crown

      Gulliver the pirate
      sailed for botany bay
      he contrabanded tea
      so many miles away
      they still fly the jolly roger
      at Poole speedway today

      you can still see the lord nelson singing
      if you look across from Poole bay
      for the waves still rise at stud-land
      where all the nudists have their day
      its all just local history
      passed on down in Poole today
