The Treasure Junk
Korean International School - Springboard, Tang, Adrienne - 14
With nine huge masts ,
And cannons that blast.
It was as big as a football pitch
With treasure to make you rich.
There was room for hundreds of men.
And would probably fit Big Ben.
Its body was watertight
But it wasn't used to fight
Below deck there was a huge tank.
If you were bad, you’d have to walk the plank.
They kept cows, horses and fish,
which they could eat at their wish
Tons of treasure to be given away,
and traded in lands faraway.
Silk, treasure, silver and gold.
Making stories to be told and retold.
