She was a Captain's daughter
And she watched him go to sea
With no hope of ever following
As did her brothers three.

One day a vicious storm blew up
And rent the ships asunder
Terrified and all alone, she
Feared they had gone under.

So shearing off her auburn hair
And donning mans apparel
Strode off to find a ship afloat
And signed on as Bob Darrell.

The masters mate, a swarthy man,
Received this new recruit
Then downed his daily rations grog
A fool Bob followed suit.

Soon swooning at his feet she lay
Incapable distressed
On throwing her upon a bunk
His eyes espied her breast,

He pulled her shirt, it rent away
And to his astonished view
Two glorious mounds nipples erect
A woman through and through!

He stripped her naked, where she lay,
And spread her cool white thighs
But as he climbed between them
She opened up her eyes.

In struggling panic, secret out
She begged him now to leave her
Too late her maidenhead was gone
His cock struck like a cleaver.

He took her hard and faster still
To him 'twas just a game
No matter if a child was born
Never to take his name.

Later she struggled to the bow
The sea her wedding gown
And leaping cursed the mate to hell
Just starlight saw her drown.

You did it again!

Spot on! Not an easy form to pull off well, you held my attention to the last line.

I suspect you had fun writing this, as much as I did reading it

Hooray for the ballad!

I wish we'd see more ballads in modern poetry. If we did, I don't think poetry would be seen as elitist as it is viewed by some. There is a place for song and story in modern poetry, and this is a great example.

I also liked how economical you were with words; some ballads go on too long. Great work!

An excellent ballad

This is a wonderful story, plucking at one's heartstrings at the end. The meter and rhyming scheme is excellent ... wow! Very well done.
