surfer Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Try searching forum posts (top right hand corner) for Pirates. Just did it and there are a few previous discussions on this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I’d like to be a Pirate I’d like to be a pirate one day With so many harbours to stay Through the seven seas I’d sail Whilst around me the sirens will wail I’d rob all the ships come passing by And give to the poor in a wink of an eye Then it won‘t take very long When you will hear a tell-tale song, about the fearless pirate at sea and you will know – that pirate is ME!! Copyright © 1996 Fairy nightingale@swissonline.ch There's also some resources here: http://www.first-school.ws/theme/coloring-pages/pirate.htm Did you know this?....'Sing a Song of Sixpence' was apparently a coded message used by the legendary pirate captain Blackbeard to recruit pirates. Sixpence and a hipflask of rye whisky was the weekly pirate's wage. The 'blackbirds' were blackbeard's pirates and the 'pie' his ship. The King's ships were the usual targets of Blackbeard's raids, so the pie full of blackbirds was a 'dainty dish' to set before him. The second verse is also easily translated, and many sources on this apparently well verified explanation are easy to find on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
