HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

[Blackbead]

Happy Father's Day from Blackbead!!

In honor of all of ye male pirates who have children:

Dad, Ye Be Me Favorite Pirate

Dad, ye be me favorite pirate:

Ye taught me all I need to know,

From how to keep me cutlass clean

To where the Trade Winds blow.

You showed me how to tie me kerchief

So that it stays upon me head,

And you taught me how to use a knife

To pick the weevils from me bread.

You schooled me in me navigatin’,

How to guide me ship by a star,

And ye taught me how to talk like a pirate:

When it’s really correct to say “arrrr!”

Dad, ye be me favorite pirate,

And there’s only one thing more to say:

Not only do I thank ye with all of me heart

But I’ll join your crew any day!
