The Ballad of Meowleen the Airship Pirate, pt. 1

Up above the clouds, the say
From sunset until early day
One pirate had found quite the niche
In her airship shaped just like a fish
Captain Meowleen and her nasty gang
With longest claw and sharpest fang
(And just in case that wouldn’t do
They had bombs and rayguns, too.)
They’d sneak into the Mouselandian labs at night
The mice couldn’t put up a fight
They’d steal their new machinery
And cause a huge cacophony
Cuz hey, it’s bloody fun
They’d kill some mice and run
So you see, she wasn’t loved by all
This is the tale of her eventual fall

Anticipation

Little sparkles of gold

Will increase a thousandfold

Over the hills and the dales and the tracks in the ground

Over the trees and the rocks and the roads not yet found

Where the high meets the low meets the new meets the old

That is where they’ll sparkle
