Skulduggery

Skulduggery

It’s one of those words,

That we all like to say,

Discombobulated though,

That’s my favourite to say,

Skulduggery’s a good one,

With one “L” or two,

It’s quite underhand,

And a bit like a coup,

Reminds me of pirates,

To give them a score,

No that’s to rate pi,

Grade three point one four,

No these are the pirates,

That reign the great seas,

A bit like Jack Sparrow,

For treasure he’ll seize,

Yeah I like this word,

It’s cool to pronounce,

I’ll say it more often,

I hereby announce.

This is another case of someone challenging me to write a poem. Blame the internet. If you want to suggest any to me, just tweet me @philverney.
