A new poem I wrote.

This poem is really different from the rest of mine but I really like it. Also this particular poem is told from a young boy's point of view.

Playing Pretend
(A child's story)

My journey on a pirate ship was great.
Everyone said words like "argh" and "Hey mate!"
I was supposed to mop the decks
and also spot all the shipwrecks.
There it is the buried treasure!
Gold coins, jewels, things beyond measure.
As I dreamed,
I heard them scream.
Oh no! Watch out!
I heard them shout.
The captain was coming and I had better watch out.
With his long beard and leg made of wood.
I had to be sure I was doing what I should.
He was mean and ruthless,
he also was a bit toothless.
Thats how things are on the open sea,
no problems, no cares, your worry free!
People dirty everywhere
and only one bathroom for us to share.
You don't have to brush the pearly whites,
you spit and yell and get in fights.
No one makes you brush your hair
or take a bath, no one cares.
Some people might think ewww,
but I loved it with the crew.
No land or girls in sight.
So for me it was the perfect life.
Until my mom came out and said,
"Honey, you need to go to bed!"
I had to leave I had to go,
but someday I would come back I know...

(By the way almost all my titles have a subtitle, I like to put it because it tells what the poem is about or what it relates to.)
