I needed to beg, steal or borrow  
a poem with tales of a sparrow  
alas, with my knack  
the Sparrow was Jack  
and he sailed away on the morrow

these pirates, they're birds of a feather  
love sailing the high seas together  
and each has a parrot  
which they did inherit  
that parrots their ARRs to the aether

of course Davey Jones stands alone  
no parrot by his famous throne  
an octopus creature  
does mimic his features  
but under the waves, it has flown
