While packing for our holiday Mrs Bard was approached by our three-year-old granddaughter and instructed to pack a pirate for me! When the coast was clear the pirate made an appearance and demanded grog and vittles…

A pirate came to tea one day,
when the Bards had gone away,
he unsheathed his sword and demanded food,
to ignore the request could have seemed quite rude!
“As I see it’s vittles you’re makin’,
I would like some eggs and bacon!”
He had a drink (not from a bar),
finished his food and let out an “Ooh Arrgh!”
