Jolly Roger

A grin one moment, then a sneer.

He called himself a buccaneer.

Pistol in hoof, an eyepatch too.

A cutlass to impale through.

He wanted bits, he wanted gold.

After which we'd keep our lives, he told.

So we obliged, gave up our treasure,

Upon the sea in balmy weather.

As we unloaded, he imparted,

Of how from home he had departed.

From Ponyville, a little town,

His smile lasted while we frowned.

It came to him on Nightmare Night,

Dressed as a pirate to delight.

Decided he'd follow his dreams,

To raid and pillage, actions obscene.

So he departed with our gold,

And while he left we all were told,

To spread this tale to all fleets,

To fear the pirate called Pipsqueak.
