Captain's Log, 19th O' September 2006
Ahoy, me hearties, terday be the mos' excellent day of festivity o' the year: International Talk Like A Pirate Day!
Alas, fer me the day's end draws nigh, but you young cullies across the mighty Atlantic can still savour terday's sweet taste of pirate jargon on yer scurvy lips!
Now fill yer lights with fine ocean air, and join us in a shanty!
Come all ye bold heroes, give an ear to me song,
We’ll sing in the praise of good brandy & rum,
It's a clear crystal fountain near Ireland doth roll,
Bring me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl.
From France we do get brandy, from Jamaica comes rum,
Sweet oranges & apples from Portugal come,
But stout, beer & cider are Ireland's control,
Bring me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl.
Oh, my wife she do disturb me as I lie at my ease,
She does as she likes, she says as she please,
My wife, she’s the devil, she’s black as the coal,
Bring me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl.
Oh, my father, he do lie in the depths of the sea,
No stone at his head, but what matters for he,
Here’s a gallon of strong cider, his death to console,
Bring me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl.
So I bid ye young tars, do come an' celebrate, an' put this 'ere fine flag up yer mast! (Translated from Pirate: Please, do put this banner in your signature or blog.)
