To face his captives, head lowered,
Their providence to learn

For Avery was a pirate bold
Trained in the Kings’ Navy
Who, disillusioned with his lot,
Captained a mutiny

He seized...

Awakening the famished dead.
We've been beating them back ever since,
And still, when I bash their skulls, I wince.

i suppose they will all
be soon to depart
the danish girl
has removed her top
the germans will soon follow suit
