Vile and vicious Pirate Pat
adores his fancy pirate hat.
Its shiny band of finest leather
holds a long and lacy feather.
Follow Pat and you will find
that frilly feather floats behind,
and as it bumps your nose and chin,
you’ll smirk a bit. And then you’ll grin.
You’ll snicker, chortle, smile, and chuckle,
giggle till your ankles buckle,
laugh so hard your sides will ache!
But that will be a big mistake.
Vile and vicious Pirate Pat
will think it’s him you’re laughing at,
or, even worse, his fancy hat.
And, bet your life,
he won’t like that!
