What does Captain Hook actually think of his hook?

--------------------

A thing you take for granted

Can become what you most wanted

Take for example a hand

With it you could rule the land

-

You would hate to have it taken away

But wouldn't notice until gone it lay

Because of a fight with a boy

Mine is now a crocodile's chew toy

-

Now I'm being followed by a croc

Luckily it goes tick-tock

It thought my hand tasted good when it ate it up

And now it is near desperate to have me for sup

-

A hook has replaced my old hand

And it is actually quite grand

If anyone mouths off it snaps in their face

And they quickly fall from grace

-

Though more menacing is a hook

Scaring some with just one look

Truly a hand to a hook I may prefer

But is not as beneficial on the Jolly Roger
