Drunk Pirates Don'T Do Poetry

Who be th' stenchin' verminous Horsman 
what hollers t' th' seafarin' oarsmen 
when th' mind's a-fog
where we fest th' grog 
why be d'mandin' pennin's of  bay men

Being a former drunken sailor myself I'm quite offended at the insinuation that we drunken (or formerly so) pirates don't like poetry. I loved poetry even when I climbed the highest yard-arm and neary fell off in a drunken stupor! It was inspiration for my best poem yet: "99 Bottles of beer on the wall." It became a really big hit song -Remember?:) Anyway "Matie"...this was a mighty fine pirate poem and I welcome you to the Jolly Roger Club:)
