Ten Little Pirate Boys (Contest)
Yo ho, yo ho, a Pirates life for me.
Recently, I had to read the novel And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie for English class. It is a murder mystery book which really makes the reader think and overall, it was an outstanding book. You may be asking yourself, what is Blaze getting at? Let me tell you. There is a nursery rhyme in the novel that talks about 10 little indian boys who end up getting knocked off one by one. I decided it would be interesting to write one for Pirate101. The original nursery rhyme is called Ten Little Indian Boys but mine is called Ten Little Pirate Boys. Needless to say, it will take some thinking but there will be a contest at the end.
The original nursery rhyme went as follows:Ten Little Indian Boys Went Out To DineOne Choked His Little Self And Then There Were Nine
Nine Little Indian Boys Sat Up Very LateOne Overslept Himself And Then There Were Eight
Eight Little Indian Boys Traveling In DevonOne Said He'd Stay There And Then There Were Seven
Seven Little Indian Boys Chopping Up SticksOne Chopped Himself In Halves And Then There Were Six
Six Little Indian Boys Playing With A HiveA Bumbblebee Stung One And Then There Were Five
Five Little Indian Boys Going In For LawOne Got In Chancery And Then There Were Four
Four Little Indian Boys Going Out To SeaA Red Herring Swallowed One And Then There Were Three
Three Little Indian Boys Walking In The ZooA Big Bear Hugged One And Then There Were Two
Two Little Indian Boys Sitting In The SunOne Got Frizzled Up And Then There Were One
One Little Indian Boy Left All AloneHe Went And Hanged Himself And Then There Were None
The plot of the novel And Then There Were None is based off of that nursery rhyme. My version, Ten Little Indian Boys, goes as follows.
Ten Little Pirate Boys Searching For GoldOne Caused a Curse, And Then There Were Nine
Nine Little Pirate Boys Manning The ShipOne Fell Overboard And Then There Were Eight
Eight Little Pirate Boys Getting Yum Yum FruitOne Picked The Wrong Fruit And Then There Were Seven
Seven Little Pirate Boys Battling The ArmadaOne Got Defeated And Then There Were Six
Six Little Pirate Boys Playing With Their KnivesOne Cut Himself And Then There Were Five
Five Little Pirate Boys Tending A FireOne Fell In And Then There Were Four
Four Little Pirate Boys Repairing Their ShipsOne Forgot To Anchor And Then There Were Three
Three Little Pirate Boys Looting DeaconOne Got Caught And Then There Were Two
Two Little Pirate Boys Hosting Their FlagsOne Tied It To His Underpants And Then There Was One

I quiet like it! Just your words at the end of the sentences didn't rhyme. (Ex: Dine rhymes with nine; but Armada doesn't rhyme with six.)
ReplyDeleteIt isn't supposed to rhyme. That's just a coincidence that dine rhymes with nine.
DeleteThanks :D and yes, Zack is correct. It was never meant to rhyme. Dine and Nine is just a coincidence.
Delete^ ..? Thanks for the nice comment Anonymous! As the two people who commented above, they are correct. Agatha Christie never intended for it to rhyme. It was. How they put it, a coincidence.

Thanks for the comment Zack! Sadly, your link didn't work. If you want to send it to my email, mywizard101site@gmail.com , I'd love to take a look at it :)
DeleteI'd Make a version of Ten Little Indian Boys but I have to go To my uncles. Sorry! Amazing post overall :)
ReplyDeleteAww ok. Thanks for the comment though :)
DeleteHow is rhyming "coincidental"? One does not write ten verses of a nursery rhyme and find that they all magically rhyme without one meaning for it to happen.
ReplyDeleteAfter further review, I stand corrected to a certain extent. Most of the lines in the rhyme do in fact rhyme but I was looking at the whole rhyme as a whole and not just specific parts. So yes, Agatha Christie did in fact make a few lines rhyme and a few not.
