One-Eyed Jack

Old 'One-Eyed Jack'
was a weathered ol' chap
with a rough stony face
and a beard,
an old tattered scabbard
a blunt-barreled gun,
and a reputation
widespread and feared.

A hook for a hand,
a wood peg for a leg,
a ship
and a scabrous crew.
A scraggly pet parrot
on a feathered brim hat,
and his teeth all a missin'
'cept two.

'One-Eyed Jack' had a secret
he most cleverly kept:
in truth, 'One-Eyed Jack'
had two eyes.
But to stop other pirates
from pokin' 'em out,
he used name and patch
as a 'guise.
