Pegleg Gregory
Hid in a barrel
From a cat that was feral
For she liked his apparel
Gregory wore a bandana
In his own cabana
And ate fresh bananas
He pulled out his sword
When the captain gave the word
He looked down at his barrel well
And realized that his movements failed
With some shaking the barrel fell
And rolled right to the islands sale
Pegleg Gregory
With one big swallow
Had found out
That the cat had followed
He grabbed his leg
Still in the barrel
To steady himself
He waved goodbye to his Cabana
And to his dear sister
Sweet Savanna
When he got to The Curdled Whale
He told his story in great detail
Of how he had lost his leg
It was that cat
The ungrateful blighter
That lit his leg
With a small lighter
It burned until
He couldn’t stand it
And he lost his job
As a bandit
That is where she found me
Yes, Captain Abigail gave me an offer
That confounded me
You have lost your leg
I see
But you can be a pirate
If you come with me
