Twelve Days of Shore Leave

After taking much abuse from our Captains this year

                                           The First Mates are enjoying a bit of Shore Leave...



Just in case you find yourselves gathering with your shipmates here is a song for you to sing around the fire.

12 Days of Shore Leave
by Angelique LeFleur

 
On the...day of shore leave my true love gave to me...

12 mugs a foaming
11 swords a swiping
10 pirates prancing
9 brooms a sweeping
8 laddies filking*
7 charts for skimming
6 sails a swaying
5 GOLD DOUBLOONS
4 pirate geeks
3 rubber chickens
2 leather gloves
and 1 pirate ship to sail the sea.

*filking is what Weird Al does when he makes a parody of a song using the music and re-writing the words.
