Ahoy There! I lifted this ditty from CS Kendrick at the Kos.



Yo! Ho! Ho!



Throe Ho Ho And a Bottle of Rum



Fifteen fibs kill a dead land's best

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum

Drink and the devil be done for the rest

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum



The game was fixed for ole Cheney's stock

Ole Cheney gained; HAL's marked up lots!

Rummy's throat was parched belike

Fending reporters off all night

There they lay, fat rich men all

Break o' day in a boozing brawl

Throe Ho Ho and a bottle of rum



Fifteen fibs for a whole world's fall

Throe Ho Ho and a bottle of rum

Sow Death with lies? They've got the gall

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum



Ole Dubya sat reading 'bout goats

When the word came through that he'd have his prize

That War laid waste to far Iraq

And death for thousands fall from the skies

Dripped all day in up-staring eyes at

Murk sunset and at foul sur-prise

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum



Fifteen fibs leave `em stiff and stark

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum

A nation bears the murder mark

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum



`Twas a DU shell or a stream of lead or a

Yawning hole in an IED'd head

And the vultures glut with a yawning red and

There they lay aye damn my eyes



All lookouts clapped on par - a - dise all

Souls bound just con - tra - ri - wise

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum



Fifteen fibs, a useful few

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum

Every one killed quite a few

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum



There were fields on fields of fine black gold

With a Ton of cash in the middle hold

And the museums riot with stuff untold as

They lay there that had took the plum



With a sightless glare and their lips struck dumb

While we shared all by the rule of thumb

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum



Fifteen fibs kill a dead land's best

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum

Drink and the devil had done for the rest

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum



We wrapped `em all in 'freedom' tight with

Twice ten clubs of a slaver's might

And we heaved `em over and out of sight with a

Throe heave ho and fare you well



And a sullen plunge in a sullen swell

Ten long years deep on the road to hell

Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum



Throe ho ho and a bottle of rum





It's only Nero-esque if the city is burning. :)

A pirate and a sailor were in a bar, and they take turns telling about their adventures on the seas. The sailor notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook and an eye patch.



The sailor asks "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"



The pirate replies: "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."



"Wow!" said the sailor. "What about the hook?"



"Well," replied the pirate, "we were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off."



"Incredible!" said the sailor. "And how did you get the eye patch?"



"A seagull-dropping fell into my eye," replied the pirate.



"You lost your eye to a seagull-dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.



"Well," said the pirate,"it was my first day with the hook..."
