Need some help!
Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 03:06 PM by Modem Butterfly
I have a stanza of poetry in my head I read when I was a kid (maybe junior high). The poem is called something like "To Queen Anne, the Pirates, and others" and it was a poem about being naughty. The last stanza was:

So zing! goes the rope
And whoosh! goes the axe
And the block is hard and you dance on air
Will you now say a few gentle words of repentance
To the curious onlookers gathered there?

Hell no! I enjoyed the jewels and the danger
And the bounding main with a conscience free
Long-faced Puritans, pious scoundrels
You'll never make an angel out of me

I can't find the damn thing now. Is anyone familiar? This is driving me crazy!

:crazy:

2. I don't know the url
but there used to be a website where you could write in lines from the poem and they would name the poem. Try googling "poetry search"
