Pirates in the Bath

The pirates have captured the bathroom!!
There's no way that I'm going in there.
I know I need a bath -but dad-
I don't think the pirates will care.

They make such terrible noises
that you can't tell a belch from a laugh.
They captured my poor rubber ducky
and they've threatened to cut him in half.

The one with the beard and the eye patch
drank up almost all the shampoo.
He said "it ain’t the finest rum,
but I think in a pinch it will do."

They've cut down the shower curtain-
to use as a sail I think.
They've hoisted the old skull and crossbones
and piled gold doubloons in the sink.

I can see that you don't believe me,
but it's true, Dad-it really is true.
So as far as my taking a bath tonight-
I think I should skip it don't you?
