Ahoy there Mateys! Who'll be ajoinin' me in a rollickin' ditty on this 'ere proud day of days?! ########################################### Most days are like all of the others, Go to work, come back home, watch TV, But, brother, if I had me druthers, I'd chuck it and head out to sea, For I dream of the skull and the crossbones, I dream of the great day to come, When I dump the mundane for the Old Spanish Main And trade me computer for rum! ARRR! T' me, Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day! When laptops are benches God gave us fer wenches, And a sail ain't a low price ta pay! When timbers are shivered and lillies are livered And every last buckle is swashed, We'll abandon our cars for a shipfull of ARRRs And pound back the grog till we're sloshed! Yo ho.... Don't pick up yer phone and say "Hello, Our ten-o-clock meeting's delayed", Ye scrunch up yer face and ye bellow, "AVAST! Ye've been bleedin' BELAYED!" Ye can't keep this fun to yerself, I bet, So sing "Aye!" "ARRR!" "Ayy!" every man! We ain't got much grasp of the alphabet, But a damn good retirement plan! T' me, Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day! Whatever's in fashion is in for a thrashin' And bein' polite is passe! When it's ev'ry man's duty to grab his proud beauty And let out a hearty YO HO! And if this offends you, hold y'r breath as we sends you Ta Davy Jones' Locker ya go! Yo ho.... We'll tell every banker "Heave to and weigh anchor!" Buy latte with pieces of eight We'll fight to be chosen as cap'n or bosun The loser, o' course, is worst mate! When we hoist Jolly Roger, the landlubbers dodge 'er, We fill 'em with loathing and fear, We'll plunder and pillage each city and village, Or at least clean out Wal-Mart of beer! There ain't no computin' or morning commutin', No "Parking Lot Full" signs for me, No lawns ta be mowin' or bills to be owin', I'm knowin' the pull of the sea. The fresh salty brace of the wind on my face Through hurricane, sunshine or squalls, I'm keepin' my eyes on the distant horizon, Verizon can hold all my calls! To wear a red coat full o' buckles, To earn a few duelling scars, Well, at least we can get a few chuckles By filling the office with ARRRs! And maybe we'll never get closer, Than watchin' 'em on the big screen, So here's to old Errol and Depp as Jack Sparrow, And every damn one in between! T' me, Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day! That time in September when sea dogs remember That grown-ups still know how ta play! When wenches are curvy and dogs are all scurvy And a soft-wear patch covers your eye, Ta hell with our jobs, for one day we're all swabs And buccaneers all till we die! So hoist up the mainsils and shut down your brain cells, They only would get in the way, Avast there, me hearty, we're havin' a party, It's "Talk... Like... A Pirate" Day! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words and Music: © 2003 by Tom Smith Dedicated ta Cap'n Slappy an' Ol' Chumbucket, fer creatin' National Talk Like A Pirate Day (September 19th) ___________________ Hissssssssss!

Arrrr! Did someone say, "sing-a-long?" i know just the song for this. ♪They called her wistful Mary a gazing out to sea Waiting for her William a gone four score and three Conscripted as a sailor to fight the Spanish lee And she’ll watch the ships come in ‘till her William she doth see Yes she’ll watch the ships come in ‘till her William she doth see She’s now called walking Mary and she walks down by the shore Her William’s still not come back home it’s now been four months more She bought her pants and shirt and coat and short her hair has shorn And jumped a clipper ship one day to come back never more Yes she jumped a clipper ship one day to come back never more They call him master Marlin and a cabin boy is he The crew taught him sword fighting from the captain learned to read The gunner taught him how to shoot an eye both dead and keen She became the greatest privateer to sail the seven seas She became the greatest privateer to sail the seven seas And now she’s first mate Marlin and the crew follow her lead Her secrets kept behind closed lips as she sails on the sea Until a fateful moment in a pub one day on leave When she saw her William laughing there a lass upon his knee When she saw her William laughing there a lass upon his knee She screamed I’m angered Mary and out she pulled a gun The flint it sparked the pan it flashed as William tried to run The ball caught him betwixt the eyes, poor William he was done She took his ship the seas to sail a Pirate to become She took his ship the seas to sail a Pirate to become And now she’s Devilish Mary a terror on the seas And many a proud strong captain well she brought them to their knees Beware the lass a spurned just once for she’ll ignore your pleas And take your ship set you adrift to drown in the salt sea Yes she’ll take your ship set you adrift to drown in the salt sea Yes you’ll walk the plank greet Davey Jones and drown in the salt sea. ♪ Arrr! ****** RMMC

Quote: Originally posted by FloralBunny: "It was my first day with the hook." Arrrr, arrrr, arrrr! That be worth a bit of rum, me hearty! And for the tellin': Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!". The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and lead the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled. Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear, but the captain calm as ever bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!". The battle was on, and once again the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, although this time more casualties occurred. Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?". The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid". The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man. As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to their Captain for his usual command. The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!! ****** ARRRRMMC
