The Dog Who Went To Sea [30 Days Of Poetry – Day 25]

Prompt: Sea

The owl and the pussycat went to sea
To see all the things they could see
The dog was upset it was left behind
So a plan quickly formed in its mind

The dog found a crate and painted it red
And made a sail from the sheets of its bed
It built a mast out of old fallen twigs
And filled up a jar with honey and figs

The dog took some bones from its bag
And made itself a pirate flag
If was going to explore all the sea
A naughty knave it was going to be

Then it captured a merchant ship
And gave the crew joint ownership
For the crown, they were a bane
The notorious pirate Blackbeard the Great Dane
