Time to Play: Clumsy Pirate

Today I enter my nursery with an ambitious plan in mind, a play idea so funny that I know my friends will get behind.

I am going to be a pirate and sail to a waterfall, with my parrot on my shoulder I am going to be the best pirate of all!

I forgot to mention that I am clumsy and not every idea will go to plan, I have the greatest intentions but not every pirate is my fan.

I slip, I fall, I crash into everything in sight, I am thrown overboard, but I know everything will be alright.

I have faith in myself, I am brave and bold, plus I am extremely happy as I have lots of gold!

Ahoy, me hearties, come and join my venture, I promise we will have fun and see so much on our adventure!

So, batten down the hatches and join my crew or I’ll make you walk the plank although I may fall in too!
