bler144: Not in, but I want to see someone do a pirate smurf.
The Tale of Bler the Blue
Come hither me beauties, and fetch me a tankard o' rum.
Draw nigh, me mateys, and afore the night be long done
I'll tell ye the tale o' a day the Guv'nor will long rue ...
The day he challenged that sea monkey, Bold Bler the Blue.
Twas 1744, in the month o' September
The seas were riding higher than any could remember
And the Guv'nor in his mansion was throwin' a ball
And boastin' about things he knew nothin' of at all.
The heads of the Brethren he said he'd roast on his spit
And from the yardarms of their ships he'd hang the crews in the gibbit.
He laughed and he gloated o'er the famous names he'd sink too,
"But what snivellin' wretch calls himself Bold Bler the Blue?"
"Now a Bluebeard or Black Jack or maybe a Pirate Pete,
While simple, are descriptive, and might sound quite sweet.
But really," he guffawed, "'the Blue'? Is he named for the weather?
I have it, quite simply it must be - the color of his nethers!"
Then in through the door walked as bold as ye meet
A short swashbuckin' sort, who stood mebbe three feet
While the beauties all swooned at the cut of his jib,
The Guv'nor was struck quite speechless instead.
The Buckineer Bler be a most impressive sight
For his skin be bright blue, and his beard be pure white
"Me da was a smuggler who found a sea nymph in the surf
And that, me fine hearties, is why they call me a Smurf!"
Now Bler was quite friends with yon runners o' rum
And the Guv'nor soon set sail in a barrel, as naked as they come
So dinna slight the Smurf, or ye too will rue
The day ye ever heard the name, Bold Bler the Blue.
