Sing Like a Pirate [Thursday, August 5]

"Hello, precious minds waiting to be filled with knowledge and possibly advice on picking up women," Jack said from his position in the crow's nest. "Today the sea's a bit choppy, so to take your minds off of your upset tummies--for woe be it upon ye if you get sick on my deck--we will learn one of my very favorite, very clean songs. Heave to and sing along, me hearties."

Well, the song was clean, but not for want of trying:

There was a young sailor who looked through the glass
And spied a fair mermaid with scales on her...island

Where seagulls fly over their nests
She combed the long hair that hung over her...shoulders

And caused her to tickle and itch.
The sailor cried out "There's a beautiful...mermaid,"

A-sitting out there on the rocks,
The crew came around a-grabbing their...glasses

And crowded four deep to the rail,
All eager to share in this fine piece of...news.

Which the captain soon heard from the watch.
He tied down the wheel and he reached for his...crackers

And cheese which he kept near the door.
In case he might someday encounter a...mermaid.

He knew he must use all his wits
Crying "Throw out a line, we'll lasso her...flippers."

And then we will certainly find
If mermaids are better before or be...brave

my good fellows." The captain then said.
"With fortune we'll break through her mermaiden...head-

-ing to starboard they tacked with dispatch.
And caught that fair mermaid just under her...elbows

And hustled her down below decks,
And each took a turn at her feminine...setting

Her free at the end of the farce,
She splashed in the waves, falling flat on her...after

A while one man noticed some scabs,
Soon they broke out with the pox and the...scratching

With fury, cursing with spleen,
This song may be dull but it's certainly clean.


What an educational class Jack taught!

Kate wasn't really singing. She tried to, but the... cleanliness of the song made it hard to remember or predict what was coming up next, and her concentration was completely shot.

Her boyfriend seemed to be nowhere to be found, and she was sure she'd seen unlikely shadows out of the corner of her eyes when she'd been coming to class. She thought she was allowed to not really be doing well in class.

It might not really make everything better, but Joolushko rather enjoyed the wench outfits.
