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:

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"
