Tribute to the captain of the Jolly Rodger

Long John Silver

Long John Silver
The swashbuckling pirate
A murderer and killer
Captain of the Jolly Rodger

Steady hands and a boldface lie
A shaky leg and a prosthetic
Dreams of pieces of eight and doubloons
Fear the Black spot

Frail, yet strong in presence
Infamous reputation
Cursed and feared
As loyal as a mutineer

My villainous hero
