Pete the Iambic Pentameter Pirate

Performance Poetry by Y6 during World Book day Mar ch 2015. This is based on our Pirate visitor to New Pasture Lane and his stories.

As we’ve been completing Shakespeare’s Macbeth Unit this term . We decided to write it in the style of an Iambic Pentameter.

 


 

(chorus)

A Pirates life is just the thing for me

The biscuits are so crunchy and so fine

 

The Black Swan rolls and often makes me sick

Above the ship I see a thousand miles

WE never eat, we’re starved, we’re skeletons

It’s exciting when you sneak upon their boss

 

A Pirates life is just the thing for me

The biscuits are so crunchy and so fine

 

Our battle cry it never seems to fail

We love to make the prisoners beg and wail

You rip, you fall, you die, you scream you’re doomed.

It’s satisfying when they walk the plank

Once thrown the sharks begin their merry dance

I love it when my sword begins to sing

 

A Pirates life is just the thing for me

The biscuits are so crunchy and so fine

 

My treasures full of gold doubloons and pearls

A pirate smells just like a donkey’s bum.

I fell right off the boat and hit the rocks

You live you die you’re fate is up to you

 

A Pirates life is just the thing for me

The biscuits are so crunchy and so fine
