YO-HO-HO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum~  
Paul the squirrel beat his acorn drum.
   He swung through the pines with a raucous cheer,
   rum sloshing wild as he commandeered the pier~
the boldest little buccaneer ever to come.

Cute! Yo-ho! The squirrel went a little nuts, from the rum I'm guessing!
