When from Blighty, Bounty set sail,
They thought the crew was all male.
They were in for a shock,
There was one with no cock,
But that`s a very long tale.
While Christian was dallying ashore,
He took up with Barbara Moore.
They were in accord,
He`d smuggle her aboard,
Nobody`d notice, for sure.
They hit on a spiffing ploy,
They`d disguise Barb as a boy.
In male garb she was clad,
To pass as a lad,
Good luck with that, ship ahoy.
As cabin boy, Barb had to serve,
The captain was a bit of a perve.
He pinched her bum,
When she served his rum,
And Barb said "You`ve got a nerve."
For a dozen with the the rope`s end,
Over a cannon poor Barb must bend..
When the bosun took down her kecks,
It revealed her true sex,
And the subterfuge came to an end.
