Well, Blow Me Down

A sailor who loved costume parties
would shout out a wild, “Aye, me hearties!”
This old buccaneer,
role playing with cheer,
got mimicked by all the young smarties.

Ha, ha, a fun one. Good thing you added “Down” to your title. He would have been an even naughtier Pirate. Congrats on your deserved win.
