Aback
Once when on a sailing ship
I sat aback while eating chips
Relaxing at the rear end of the boat
Where I was taken aback
Surprised in fact to be attacked
By a furry band of pirate goats!
It was a frightening sight to see
A boat of goats upon the sea
Where they'd come from was a mystery
But it was my chips they sought
And rushed upon me with the thought
That these chips of mine would be their tea!
So I took the only measure
I could to protect my treasure
And held aback my jib to catch the breeze
And when my sails were in place
The wind thrust me into a race
Against the hungry goats pursuing me!
And as I sped away I saw
The goats were brandishing their swords
Taking orders from their Captain Billy
Who sat aback his pirate ship
Coveting my crispy chips
It's true I tell you even though it's silly!
But boy were they taken in aback
When they became the hearty snack
Of a pterodactyl known as Peg
Who terrified the capric crew
Gobbling down more than a few
And left the captain needing a peg leg!
But I didn't wait around
To see Peg gulp her dinner down
But kept aback the sails of my ship
And when I knew I could be sure
That I would safely reach the shore
I sat aback my ship and ate a chip!
