The Good King

Long, long, long agoWhen pirates sailed the seasThere was a rascalHis name was PatchThats CAPN Patch, if you please!Now ol Capn Patch was a typical pirateHe would drink and steal and swearBut now its time to be nice and find a homeWhere folks are kind and fair!My Mum was right, the Capn saidA pirates life is bad!Its not nice to be a crookAnd steal what others have!If only I could find a placeA country I could stay. But what kind of king would let a pirate in?THAT would be the day!Just then Patch heard a wiggleComing from the chest!He opened the boxAnd 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 MomsWe have no Dads. We thought wed take a trip!We hitched a ride and came to townAnd then we found your ship!Were out to sea! We cant go back!Patch shaded his eyes and lookedBut if Im caught with you two squidsMy goose is REALLY cooked!Then Patch had an idea!I know what we will do!Im very sure that this will workIve thought it through and through!We all need a home, we doLets stick together, us three!You squids both need a Mum and DadAnd I just want to be free!So if we find a kindly king Who will let a pirate inI bet that he will be a king Who can help you find some kin!
