When he was not at sea, Con
was a bootlegging infringer
who dabbled in plagiarism,
illegal copying, and stealing
from refugee beach combers.

He was a crooked man, related
to the one in the crooked house,
the chap who stole the sixpence
from the blind busker by the stile,
took his cat also, by all accounts.

Before he sank his boat he lived
in misdemeanour way out on
the ocean but no one ever knew.
So, Con's Piracy Theory is proven,
stranded sailors are fierce *******.
