Step Aside Jack Sparrow

or

The Quest for Birthday Booty

Listen pirates and listen well 

to a story we will tell

Buried treasure lies deep underground

Go where the first clue can be found.

We can start easy to get you on course.

Go where the barges were pulled by a horse.

If you walk over you've gone too far.

If you look under it will be thar.

The day is fierce hot, the water is wet

wear your bandana to keep off the sweat.

For the next clue, it will take only one.

Throw on a harness and climb to the sun.

Put on the patch where you eyeball is missing.

Every fierce pirate for scars he is wishing.

Storm clouds are gray the sky is deep blue,

Head for the water, where waits a canoe.

Ahoy Matey's look over thar in the water...

A message in a bottle!

It says....

Bad winds are coming, there's trouble ashore,

Danger on the island---I cannot say more.......

Where you will go other pirates have tread,

Some left alive, others left dead.

Take of your sword, and hold it tight.

A pirate must be armed, and ready to fight.

Your journey continues, put your swords in your belt

March in a line to where the first pirates dwelt.

Up in the trees where you sleep above ground

Beneath the tin roof your next clue is found.

The island's divided walk the plank in between,

Somewhere around it, a clue can be seen.

When the water is higher the boats come and land

To keep them from drifting, they're tied to a strand.

Take you this shovel for the next task at hand

Watch out for bones as you dig in the sand.

The treasure is calling which way do you go?

Walk in the direction that the rivers flow.

Where the trails ends, keep going down.

Deep in the earth,

BURIED TREASURE IS FOUND!

Birthday Booty!
