Captain Von Muller

A Skipper of mark was Von Muller,

The humorous naval leg-puller.

With ubiquitous ease

He raided the seas

And his bag became fuller and fuller.

Though now he is finally done, he

Had a nice little run for his money,

And his victims' distress

He would gently suppress

With words that were sweeter than honey.

The high seas brought hazards to suit him,

His laurels, not one will dispute him,

No Briton could crow

Over such a game foe

And his enemy's flag will salute him.
