DLTK's Crafts for Kids
The Rainy Day

by Evaleen Stein
 

Let's sail all day, away, away
  To the splendid Spanish Main
And the sultry seas of the Caribbees
  And skies that never rain!

As pirates bold with bags of gold
  And cutlasses and things,
We'll pack doubloons and silver spoons
  In chests with iron rings.

And these we'll carry and secretly bury
  In cannibal isles afar;
Like Captain Kidd, when they're safely hid
  We won't tell where they are.

Let's sail all day, away, away
  To the splendid Spanish Main
And the sultry seas of the Caribbees
  --But at night sail home again!
