I lost myself in thinking \u2018bout
\nThat Red Flag Pirate fleet,
\nThe captives taken to their ship
\nAnd trials they might meet.<\/p>\n
I know \u2018bout probability
\nTheir chances di\u2019n\u2019t look great
\nLingsi seemed sure to farkle* once
\nThat sailor dropped that crate.<\/p>\n
She risked it all; she summoned up
\nWhat courage she could find.
\nSurprised that dreaded pirate queen
\nWith powers of her mind.<\/p>\n
What lesson do you take from her?
\nThat queen knew to take heed.
\nThere\u2019s nothing quite so valuable
\nAs knowing how to read!<\/p>\n
*Farkle is a game of chance played with dice in which to Farkle means getting a bad roll causing the player to lose points and lose their turn.<\/em><\/p>\n I look forward to seeing eveyone’s reaction to the story, your writing, your videos and all your efforts from this week<\/a> (which is quickly passing by!).<\/p>\n Enjoy the poem in the video below (you should recognise the meter!), and spend some time on some poetry you might include in a card on Sunday.
