With a Yo, Ho, Ho! and Bottle of Rum!
Pirate and friendly dolphin come
He with eye-patch and hook-hand
Adrift somewhere on distant strand.
Beside our “Pugwash”, smaller scale
A rosy mermaid minus tail
Attempts to put her smile in place
And bring to Make-Believe her grace.
How wonderful to watch them grow
And in this mad world boldly go
Creating memories to treasure
All at Aussie Captain’s pleasure!
“Peg-Leg”- bold as brass – stares out
Poised to give his crew a shout;
With Little Mermaid at his side,
Off they'll sail on the next tide!
