Beware The Dainty Pirate

The Pirate, Jac Parie

Jac Parie was a dainty French pirate
who sailed long ago, the high seas.
He was lighthearted, gay, and yes some folks say,
he was more than most like to see.

He dressed in bright clothes with white ruffles,
wore a wig, though he sometimes sailed bald,
and his mast never sagged when he sailed ‘round in drag
so flaming, to touch him might scald.

Jac Parie sailed a ship called the Lolly,
and for sure, folks thought it might pop.
When he raided, they’d say, “Jac Parie, please go ‘way,”
but the pirate, he never would stop.

So the French and the English, they chased him,
as the Spanish and Italians did too,
but he’d always sail ‘way, with a laugh he would say,
“To catch me will take more than you!”

They enlisted the help of some Germans,
and the Turks, and some others they’d found.
And with one Russian Tsar, they chased him afar,
but their tactics were never resound.

Come the day of the Queen’s coronation,
Jac Parie, he anchored off-shore.
All the kings, they did say, “We’ll catch Jac today,
and he’ll sail as a pirate no more.”

Jac Parie so eluded his capture.
With a flip of his wrist, knocked them down,
and the pirates all gleaned, “Was the funniest thing!”
Jac Parie, he donned the Queen’s crown...

Then sailed away...
