Reclaiming the Ship
Parrot!
Captain has stolen our ship again!
Find me another so that we can
Board and clean the all decks
Free from paper with words
'sadness', 'sorrow' and 'woe'-
All to be shown the plank, got that?
Then hide the ale from view,
Put some magnesium in his soup
(Not too much, you know what that would do) .
Kill some chickens in the coup,
Line the cupboards with the best food.
Then make sure he eats!
And when we hear that belly laugh again,
Set course for buried treasure.
