Captain Mildew & the Treasure Trap

Old Captain Mildew was stroking his beard,

For nights such as these were what all pirates feared.

Waves bigger than buildings, and hail pouring down,

One clumsy wrong turn and somebody could drown.

 

““Hold fast!” Mildew shouted, and “Steady!” he cried,

As bravely he battled the strength of the tide,

Then with a loud bump and the mightiest splash,

The hull hit some rocks, and the huge ship went - CRASH!

 

Old Mildew thought quickly. “I must stay afloat!”

So swiftly he climbed into a small rowing boat.

He seized at the oars, and he started to row,

And bobbed through the waves with his toucan in tow.
