We Are Pirates After All

We sail across the sloshing seas,
Our ship voyages through the ocean.
Hair whipping in our face,
As the vessel pushes with great motion.
With swords sharper than your knife at home,
We are defensive so don't think of attacking.
Just think of a gnome, but more fierce and mean.
So take our loot and get a good whacking!
We are pirates after all,
We're the ones with gold and striking swords.
We're the ones that seek revenge,
And we shoot out humongous cannon balls!
