8- The Greedy Pirate

Far in the sea there was a big boat Its captain had a black beard and a coat He had an eye-patch and a wooden limb His ten sailors were faithful to him ..

One day they reached a deserted island With a map they searched for gold and diamonds The island was full of palm trees and colorful birds One of the birds, the parrot spoke many words ..

The captain and his sailors couldn't find the treasure They were all angry with a lot of displeasure The captain ordered his cook to start cooking Other sailors for water and food went looking ..

The captain under a tree sat and started smoking In his dreams about gold and diamonds he was sinking Was the map fake or were they in the wrong land? All the islands look the same with trees and sand ..

The parrot spoke with wise words and he said The treasure your looking for is above your head High on the third mountain where the birds are red In a cave by the lake home of the dead ..

But before you seek the treasure is it really worth, Losing your life for something under the dirt? The captain didn't care, went running to the cave He soon find out that he led his sailors to their grave ..

The greedy captain lost everything he’s cherished His sailors, his boat and for little gold has perished The parrot on his high tree went on singing his song Why do people like to die for something silly and wrong?
