Queen Pirate

There came to be the most famous,
Feminine and notorious,
Woman in the Coasts of Ireland,
The Queen Pirate victorious.

One of the most feared women in,
Maritime History she dared,
To enter a man's world and gained,
Notoriety that declared.

And this Irish daughter of a,
Pirate grew up to be the same,
And more, a heroine, lover,
Mother, picking up greater fame.

From a young age she excelled in,
Piracy just like her Father,
But became the greatest most feared,
Seafaring Pirate and daughter.

She sailed the sea of life where'er,
It goes where'er tides ebb and flow,
There she and her sailors would go,
High on the sea where the winds blow.

And forcefully with malice this,
Lady Pirate had to do one,
Better than men just to survive,
Being vicious under the sun.

Like the waters cover the seas,
In a calm before the storm in,
A man's world she plundered all ships,
With the kiss of death as Chieftain.

She was a gorgeous yet dauntless,
Buccaneer sailing the grand seas,
Through life commanding a dozen,
Ships and hundreds of men with ease.

She demanded obedience,
Of all men in her Piracy,
Empire which stretched from the Irish,
Coast to Africa mightily.

True she was beautiful and most,
Feminine yet she sailed a fierce,
And daring path on land and sea,
With men of savage moods to pierce.

And that she did invariably,
Wreaking havoc in turbulent,
Times as she preyed looting ships with,
One sharp sword that was prevalent.

There came to be the most famous,
Feminine and notorious,
Woman in the Coasts of Ireland,
The Queen Pirate victorious.
