Colin the Cabin Boy

Continuing the Adventures of Sea Legs Ethel and The Sweaty Sock

Part Two: Colin the Cabin Boy

Colin is the cabin boy
aboard our Pirate boat,
It was his dream you see, to be off to sea
With the scurviest crew afloat…

Now, Colin is a terror
The worst of our motley mob
He can smell doubloons in a lead-lined room
So he’s just the lad for the job.

Yes Colin is light-fingered
With a heart like night is black
He once ran away with the Circus,
But his mum made him take it back.

Tho he be but a junior Pirate
He out-pirates all the rest
He can curse and spit and throw daggers
At his mateys from the high Crow’s Nest.

He’s got some horrible habits,
When the ghost-moon’s sailing the skies
He’ll howl in the dark with a fearsome bark
Maybe he’s a werewolf in disguise?

He’s really good at flicking snot,
He can flick to outer-space
But he ain’t got the hang of the changing winds
And he gets it back in the face.

Yes, he’s not the sort you’d bring back home
To meet your Mum and Dad
They’d be walking the plank in seconds
He’s a proper pirate lad.

But Colin is Ethel’s favourite,
He’s quite the Captain’s Pet
He brings her pipe and slippers
When the weather’s cold and wet.

Yes Colin is our Cabin Boy,
We think you know him true
If you just take a look in the mirror
Then Colin looks just like….you!
